Variety trial of potatoes resistant to Verticillium wilt

Twenty varieties and advanced seedlings, reported tolerant toVerticillium wilt, were compared in field trials during spring and autumn on plots infested withV. dahliae and on comparable non-infested plots. Yield criteria were used to analyze the level of field resistance. Ona-2249 was the only variety tested which gave similar yields in both growing seasons and under both infested and non-infested soil conditions, as compared to those of Up-to-Date, the standard variety.
