Abstract
The susceptibility to soft rot caused by Erwinia carotovora subsp. atr oseptica of five potato cultivars and potato clones from the potato br eeding programme at Jogeva Plant Breeding Institute was assessed in a laboratory test. Three test methods were used: a single site inoculati on, vacuum infiltration and slice inoculation. The severity of the dis ease varied widely with the different methods, which gave different cu ltivar rankings.
