Abstract

Contamination withErwinia carotovora andVerticillium alboatrum (dark mycelial form) occurred rapidly in certain seasons and districts in cv. Kennebec seed potato crops which were derived from pathogen-tested stem cuttings and propagated with attention to practical procedures of crop hygiene. Only varietycarotovora ofE. carotovora was found.
