| Abstract: | 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. |
