Germans, Dutch
Lead in European
Potato Research
The German and Dutch people j
are among the leaders in Europe
in the field of basic potato disease !
research.
| Dr. Charles E. Logsdon, plant |
pathologist at the University of
Alaska Agricultural Experiment
Station, expressed this opinion
recently in Washington, „ D. C.,
following a two-month tour of
northern European countries. His
trip was financed by a grant from
the Rockefeller Foundation to
learn of research being done in
Europe that is applicable to Al
aska.
The scientist found that many
potato virus diseases have been
practically eliminated from foun
dation seed stock in several coun
tries. Freedom from these diseas
es is maintained by serological
tests and microscopic examina
tion of thousands of individual
tubers each year.
Some problems have arisen,
Dr. Logsdon learned, such as a
new strain of virus “Y” in po
tatoes proving ito be quite des
tructive when it invades tobacco.
At least seven races of potato
want that will attack previously
resistant potatoes have been iden
ified.
With respect to both wart and
the Golden Nematode, for which
conditions are favorable in Al
aska, Dr. Logsdon felt that Euro
peans expressed less concern than
is prevalent in the United States.
