To investigate testing procedures for assessing the reproduction of potato cyst nematodes (PCN) on potato cultivars, and to minimize variation in results, trials were done jointly for 3 years at two UK National Listing test centres (DANI in Northern Ireland, DAFS in Scotland). Test clones comprised susceptible, resistant and ‘partially resistant’ cultivars. The factors under investigation included the effect of season, site, location, temperature, PCN population, inoculation method, pot size, hatch rates and methods of assessment of reproduction. Standard procedures are recommended for testing potato cultivars for resistance to PCN.
