SUMMARY A method using microplots is described for assessing the susceptibility of potato tubers to late blight. The relative amounts of tuber infection of five standard cultivars were consistent in tests carried out during five ‘non‐blight’ years except for Arran Banner in 1973. No results were obtained in a sixth year.
