Abstract
Out of 38 lines of sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] which had demonstrated some resistance in laboratory tests to the sweetpotato weevil, Cylas formicarius elegantulus (Summers), 13 lines had significant levels of resistance, based on weevil free yield in artificially infested fields in Yoakum, Texas. Two lines, W 125 and W 119, previously released as having weevil resistance, maintained a high level of resistance.Keywords
