In Vitro Induction of Virus-Free Potatoes by Chemotherapy

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 3))

Abstract

To maximize yield in potato it is important to plant virus-free seed and prevent or delay entry of virus into the crop such that infection does not affect the determinants of yield in the crop (van der Zaag 1983; Fig. 1).
