    Primaire haarden en eerste aantastingen door Phytophthora infestans

    In de periode 1998 t/m 2005 zijn in totaal 184 percelen met primaire haarden bezocht, waarbij de meest waarschijnlijke oorzaak van de infectiehaard werd vastgesteld. De belangrijkste conclusie van dit onderzoek is dat al zeer vroeg in het groeiseizoen, soms al in de eerste week na opkomst, infecties kunnen ontstaan als de weersomstandigheden gunstig zijn. Wachten met de eerste bespuiting als een kritieke periode wordt voorspeld is onverantwoord, ongeacht het gewasstadium. Een ander interessant resultaat van het project was het onverminderde belang van latent geïnfecteerde poters als bron van infectie

    on tubers of potato cultivars with different levels of blight resistance

    Differential interactions in tuber blight attack between potato cultivars and Phytophthora infestans isolates were studied using whole tuber and tuber slice assays. Tuber blight incidence and severity were studied in a whole tuber assay, whilst necrosis and mycelium coverage were evaluated in a tuber slice assay. The overall defence reaction of the potato cultivars tested varied considerably. Cultivars like Kartel and Producent showed resistant reactions, whilst Bintje and, to a lesser extent, Astarte reacted more susceptibly after inoculation with aggressive strains of P. infestans. A highly significant cultivar by year interaction was observed when tuber blight incidence was evaluated in two successive years. Differential responses were revealed by changing ranked order of cultivars after exposure to aggressive isolates of P. infestans. The results show that cultivar by isolate interactions existed for all components of tuber blight resistance studied. The quantitative nature of the observed resistance responses suggests the presence of quantitative trait loci governing resistance to tuber blight. The consequences of differential interactions in relation to the stability of tuber resistance are discusse
