Summary

The micro-precipitin test and a bioassay using the local-lesion hostChenopodium quinoa were compared for their efficiency in detecting potato virus S in some potato cultivars grown in the open. TheC. quinoa bioassay was more sensitive than the serological test but used more space and was time-consuming.
