The use of single, spaced potato plants to assess their tolerance of damage by potato cyst nematodes

  • Published:
Potato Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Potato clones and cultivars differ in their ability to tolerate damage by the potato cyst nematodes:G. rostochiensis andG. pallida. This paper reports a simplified field assessment whereby single, spaced plants are grown in heavily infested soils. These trials identified those clones which are either very sensitive to damage or those that grow and yield well in the presence of nematodes. The use of such a screening procedure in a breeding programme is discussed.
