Abstract
The leaf extract fromS. berthaultii Hawkes (PI 473340) contains exudate from trichomes (type B). Consumption ofS. tuberosum var. Norchip foliage by the Colorado potato beetleLeptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) was reduced when treated with the leaf extract. The leaf extract from a resistantS. berthaultii clone without type B trichome had no antifeedant activity. It suggests that more than one mechanism of resistance to the Colorado potato beetle exists inS. berthaultii.
