Abstract
None of the extracts and culture filtrates from growth of 9 races ofPhytophthora infestans on living potato tissue and potato dextrose broth are toxic to chick embryos. Chloroform extracts of 4 out of 10 isolates ofAlternaria solani grown on potato dextrose broth showed some toxicity to chick embryos.Keywords
