Variability in virulence and aggressiveness was studied in 102 single zoospore isolates originating from 4 field isolates of Phytophthora infestans. Field isolates appeared to be mixtures of a wide spectrum of phenotypes differing in both characters as mentioned above. Race concept in P. infestans has been discussed
