EARLY SCREENING OF ASPARAGUS HYBRIDS FOR TOLERANCE TO FUSARIUM ; COMPARISON WITH DECLINE STUDY IN FIELD |
| Authors: | C. Rameau, A. Bota |
| Abstract:
Among the material used in the French (INRA) asparagus breeding programme, a great variability for field decline tolerance is observed. This tolerance seems to be mainly bound to the vegetative vigor of the genotype. A new early screening test for tolerance to Fusarium disease is initiated. This method uses a naturally infested soil and takes into account the importance of lesions on the root system. | |
