Abstract

Major gene resistance in conjunction with stringent phytosanitation and a lack of “genetic plasticity” of the viruses involved have led to durable resistance in most potato cultivars against virus diseases. Due to a narrow rotation the incidence of potato cyst nematodes increased. Despite chemical treatments and use of resistant cultivars no durable resistance against Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida has been achieved. The use of fungicides overruled the need for durable resistance against late blight. Major gene resistance is clearly not durable, minor gene resistance is present in several cultivars and needs to be accumulated. A large proportion of the Dutch potato area has been occupied by the cultivar Bintje which is susceptible to several viruses and potato cyst nematodes. Ever since its introduction in 1910 Bintje was susceptible to late blight. Such a large scale cultivation of a susceptible cultivar should not be continued in the 21st century.
