Abstract

A decoction containing ‘Golden Bantam’ sweet corn is a suitable medium fqr prolonged maintance of the late blight organismPhytophthora infestons. Using this procedure, cultures of P.infestons were maintained up to 12 months without transferring. These isolates exhibited no variation in virulence or race.
