SUMMARY The hatching activity of partially resistant Solanum tuberosum × S. vernei clones and susceptible cultivars was investigated in a series of tests with G. pallida conducted in pots in the glasshouse. Differences in hatching were apparent, with the partially resistant clones generally stimulating a lower total hatch than the S. tuberosum cultivars. It is concluded that reduced hatching activity can make a small contribution to overall resistance and perhaps also to the tolerance of a clone to G. pallida.
