The bacterial wilt of potatoes caused by race 3 of P. solanacearum can be a severe problem at high elevations in Colombia and Peru, where relatively low mean temperatures predominate. Because race 3 exists within wide geographical areas, attempts were made to determine if there are specific strains that are adapted to, and can cause wilting at, these low temperatures. ''Russet Burbank'' potato plants were stem-inoculated with 8 race 3 strains and then were maintained in growth chambers at 16, 20, 24 and 28.degree. C for 15 days. At the lowest temperature (16.degree. C) only 1 strain (S206) caused considerable wilting; S206 was more virulent than the other 7 strains at both 16 and 20.degree. C. At 28.degree. C, no differences in virulence could be detected; all strains caused complete wilting by 15 days. These results were confirmed in a 2nd experiment in which 10 strains were used, 5 of race 1 and 5 of race 3. Only 2 race 3 strains (S206 and 257) caused wilting at the lower temperatures; at 28.degree. C all strains were equally virulent. Differences in virulence were not correlated with growth rates of the strains in liquid culture at 16.degree. C; some strains grew at rates similar to those of S206 or 257 in vitro, but did not cause symptoms when grown in vivo at this temperature.
