| Abstract: | Summary For 10 years the method developed by Van der Meer et al, (1970) to test neck rot resistance in onions has been applied in a breeding programme. From experiments with market varieties, inbred lines and half-sib families it is concluded that neck rot resistance as determined by this method is a quantitative character, which shows continuous variation and is in part fixable by selection. The practical importance of this type of neck rot resistance is not yet clear.Report no. 68 |
