I am looking for information on varietal resistance to potato flea beetle.
Apparantly there was some recent work which indicated pubescence on above
ground plant parts resulted in reduced damage due to potato flea beetles.
I was not able to find any citations in a recent literature search. I
would appreciate any references to this work. Many thanks.
