Abstract
SUMMARYNew varieties of hop resistant to progressive Verticillium wilt are now widely grown and generally give acceptable disease control in commercial plantations, but on a few farms their normal high level of resistance is not maintained. The incidence of wilt on one such farm is analysed in detail. At this site wilt was not directly associated with plant death, as it is in a sensitive variety. In a discussion on etiological aspects of wilt in resistant varieties it is concluded that while seasonal fluctuations in disease incidence are influenced by climatic conditions, high mean incidence is related to undefined, intrinsic soil factors. Attention is directed to the analogous forms of disease resulting from host/pathogen interactions in which resistance and virulence are either both high or both low.
