Notes:
Summary Consistent varietal differences in scab severity were obtained when plants were grown in an open field or under a polythene tunnel in soil naturally infested withStreptomyces scabies, or in a glasshouse in pots filled with artificially inoculated sand. It was concluded that the glasshouse pot-inoculation technique would be the most suitable method to use in a breeding programme in which there are many clones to be tested, because a large number of plants can be grown in a small area under closely controled conditions.
