Abstract

Virus indexing of seed potatoes can be carried out by growing eye plugs to produce small plants and then testing them by ELISA, but this method is time consuming. Direct testing of the eye plugs by ELISA is not reliable, and so a method has been developed for the routine testing of seed potatoes for virus by PCR.
