Extract

Laboratory experiments have shown that cysts of the eelworm Heterodera schachtii adhering to seed potato tubers are killed by immersion of the tubers for 6 hours in 5% formalin solution (Franklin 1939). Further experiments were designed to determine what effect such treatment has on the seed tubers and on the resulting crop.
