Elucidating the impact of environmental factors on the ecological performance of Colletotrichum coccodes isolated from Scottish and English potato tubers: data

The data support a manuscript which provides new insights on the behaviour of the causal agent of potato black dot disease, <em>Colletotrichum coccodes</em>. The research article highlights the importance of understanding the environmental influence on the pathogen, both at pre- and postharvest stages, for a proper potato disease management to help reducing food loss and waste throughout the supply chain.  
The data set incudes the maximum growth rate and lag time for <em>Colletotricum coccodes</em> and <em>Helminthosporium solani </em>grown under<em> in-vitro</em> conditions.
