E Characterization of resistance to early blight in three potato cultivars: ncubation period, lesion expansion rate, and spore production. Phytopathology 79: Early blight incubation periods (degree-hours from inoculation until 18-day-old Norchip shorter than on Kennebec and Rosa; 45-day-old lesion radius reaches 0.35 mm) and lesion expansion rates (micrometers of plants no longer markedly different. Lesion expansion rates lesion radius per degree-hour during leaf wetness) measured on intact lowest on Rosa. Cultivar differences became less apparent as plants plants of field-grown potato cultivars Kennebec, Norchip, and Rosa at grew older. Spore production per square millimeter of lesion was measured about 18, 30, and 45 days after emergence. ncubation periods shorter from individual lesions on leaves harvested from field-grown plants at 74 and lesion expansion rates greater on lower leaves and on older plants. and 92 days after planting. Spore production increased as a linear function During leaf wetness, lesion expansion increased in a linear manner over a of lesion area. Plant age (Pdays after emergence) and leaf position did not range of 6 to 24 hr and in response to temperatures ranging from 9 to 27 C. have a significant effect on spore production. Spore production was lowest ncubation periods and lesion expansion rates described by a linear on Kennebec; Norchip and Rosa not significantly different. Spore function of leaf position, plant physiological age (Pdays after emergence), production was not correlated maturity class of cultivar. and interaction of leaf position and plant age. ncubation periods on Additional keywords: Alternaria solani, heat summation, resistance components, Solanum tuberosum. Early blight, caused by Alternaria solani (Ell. & Mart.) Jones & NY. Norchip (early-maturing) is reported as highly susceptible, Grout, is one of major causes of defoliation of potatoes in Kennebec (mid-season) as having an intermediate level of norastern United States. t has been repeatedly observed that resistance, and Rosa (late-maturing) as being highly resistant to early-maturing cultivars are more susceptible than later-maturing early blight (1). Potato seed consisted of small whole tubers or seed cultivars (1,4,11). Furrmore, older leaves are more susceptible pieces (Kennebec, 1984) weighing about 50 g each. Seed pieces to early blight, and susceptibility increases as plants grow older treated mancozeb dust (Manzate 8D, E.. dupont de (9,11-13,16). We observed that infection efficiency (number of Nemours and Co., Wilmington, DE). Four-row plots (16 lesions per number of conidia applied) was greater on older leaves plants/row), 3.7 m long, 0.9 m between rows, planted and increased markedly as plants grew older (8). However, a 23-cm spacing between plants. The plots planted in differences in infection efficiency of A. solani among cultivars did areas that not planted potatoes for two previous not fully explain early blight resistance ranking of three potato years.

Fertilizer (167 kg each of N, P, and K per incubation period (P), lesion expansion rate (LER), and spore hectare) and insecticide carbofuran (Furadan 15G, 3.4 kg production (SP), may contribute to field-observed differences in a.i./ha, FMC Corp., Middleport, NY) applied at planting. cultivar resistance (4,9,11,12,16). For example, Harrison et al observed large lesions on lower leaves, while upper leaves The herbicide linuron (Lorox 50 WP, 1.7 kg a.i./ha, E.. du Pont de Nemours and Co., Wilmington, DE) was applied after planting asymptomatic even though y harbored pathogen (4). but prior to plant emergence.

The plants inoculated 50 days after emergence wetness duration was measured a leaf wetness sensor (3) an aqueous conidial suspension (3,000 conidia per milliliter) of fastened to adaxial surface of an intact potato leaflet. The field isolate of A. solani. The plants placed in a mist chamber sensor was placed in a plot of Norchip at 30 cm from soil and at 20 C for 24 hr a 12-hr photoperiod. They returned to tilted at 300 from horizontal. Both sensor and leaf secured greenhouse bench until appearance of necrotic spots on wooden stakes to prevent movement and damage to leaves (about 7 days after inoculation). The plants n leaflet's surface by sensor. The sensor was connected to an AC returned to mist chamber (20 C) and exposed to a 12-hr channel of a CR21 data logger (Campbell Scientific, nc., Logan, light-dry and 12-hr dark-mist regime for 7 days. Under se UT), and leaf wetness readings recorded every 20 min. The conditions, lesions expanded and assumed characteristic response of sensor ranged from 0 mv (dry leaf surface) to a "target board" appearance of lesions in field. maximum of 150 mv (continuous water film).

Leaf surfaces kept wet while in incubator, and From temperature data, physiological age of plants leaves photographed immediately after leaf wetness was expressed as Pdays accumulated from median emergence exposure. The experiment was done twice, and areas of 101 date of each cultivar. Pdays are a measure of rmal time for lesions measured. The radial growth of lesions was determined as for temperature experiments. Calculation of P and LER. To incorporate effects of time and temperature on fungal growth, Ps and LERs expressed TABLE 1.

The degree-hours for development ofa. solani cultivars Kennebec, Norchip, and Rosa calculated from relationships between relative growth rate of lesions and temperature and duration of leaf wetness Day of year (see Results).

An intercept of 0 was used for effect of Rosa leaf wetness duration on relative lesion radial growth, because lesions on greenhouse-grown plants did not expand in absence (0.05) (0.09) (0.10) of leaf wetness, and y intercept of equation 5 was not 'Days after median emergence. significantly different from 0.
