Abstract

THE INFLUENCE OF RESISTANT POTATO VARIETIES ON THE SOIL POPULATION OF HETERODERA ROSTOCHIENSIS WOLL. II BY C. A. HUIJSMAN Foundation for Agricultural Plant Breeding, Wageningen, The Netherlands Resistant potatoes bred from Solanum tuberosum subsp. andigena, C.P.C. 1673 were grown continuously for 8 years on an experimental field.

This means that at the beginning of the experiment there was already present in the initial population a low frequency of genes governing aggressiveness towards these potatoes. The practical possibilities of growing resistant varieties depends mainly on the genetic composition, with respect to the genes for aggressiveness, of those populations which by rough methods are found to be A-populations.
