Abstract

World production of potato is second to cereals. One of the most efficient key factors of increasing potato production is the quality of seed potato as planting material. In order to control the varieties production, it is necessary the use of a high biological value material, with no viral diseases. The present study revealed that the ELISA method is applicable for the determination of the viral infection degree with effect on the yield of potato seeding material from superior biological categories. Also, the elimination of virus-infected plants using the ELISA method has resulted in a higher yield of potato seeding material from superior biological categories (SE and E basis).
