The authors studied the wilt disease of paprika caused by Verticillium fungi. They established that the inoculation of roots has to be made with a suspension of 10** (7) conidia/ml of the most aggressive isolate. Isolates made from artichoke, eggplant, potato and tomato (Verticillium dahliae, V. tenerum, V. alboatrum) were also pathogenic to paprika. The authors did not find complete resistance in the 48 Hungarian and 56 foreign paprika lines. Materials that may be used in breeding for resistance may be the following (resistance percentages in brackets): Podarok Moldavii (18.6), Sofiska Kapija (20), Buketen (10), Hatvani Hajtato (10), Kalocsai V-1 (6.5), Szentesi Cseresznyepaprika (3). In course of the tests the resistance of Podarok Moldavii variety proved to be of polygenic character. In the tests the authors did not observe the appearance of pathogenic strains.
