Potato Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Tubers from individual seedlings of nineteen progenies involving eleven parental cultivars were tested for resistance to powdery scab over 2 years in artificially infested soil beds. There was a significant correlation between the mean resistance of a progeny and the phenotypic resistance of its parents.
