Abstract

Numbers and specific gravity of Netted Gem potato tubers were unaffected by mottle and latent strains of potato virus X (PVX) and by potato virus S (PVS). Neither latent PVX nor PVS affected yield but mottle PVX alone and latent PVX combined with PVS reduced tuber size and yield (P = 0.05).

Resumen

La gravedad específica y el número de tubérculos de la variedad “Netted Gem” no fueron afectados por los strains moteado y latente del Virus X (PVX) ni por el virus S (PVS) de la papa. La producción no fue afectada por el strain latente del PVX ni por el PVS, pero el strain moteado del PVX sólo y el strain latente combinado con el PVS redujeron el tamaño y producción de tubérculos. (P = 0.05)
