Abstract

The wild potato speciesSolanum polyadenium, S. berthaultii andS. tarijense have numerous four-lobed glandular hairs on their leaves and were resistant to the flea beetle attacking potato crops near Lima, Peru. Leaflets of 5.polyadenium that were wiped free of glandular hairs suffered much more damage than did unwiped ones.
