The resistance of potato varieties to storage decay caused by fusarium sambucinum f. 6 and fusarium coeruleum

  • Published:
American Potato Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Unnamed potato seedlings and new varieties have been assessed for resistance to Fusarium tuber decay through a comparison with established varieties of known susceptibility

Resistance to decay caused by Fusarium sambucinum f. 6 was determined by comparing varietal reaction with that of the susceptible Sebago, whereas the susceptible Keswick variety was used as a standard in the study of tuber resistance to Fusarium coeruleum.
