For example: the disease which affects the potatoes with green substance on its peel.

This disease is widely spread in the countries which is very hot most of the times of the year, hence, it affects the general health and production and it is affected with many stains on it which affect production and the rate of preserving solidity and also the sugar percentage becomes less as it does not exceed three days approximately.
