A key for official assessment of potato cultivars for their resistance to Synchytrium endobioticum (potato wart) is presented. The margin between resistant and susceptible reactions is determined solely by the intensity of necrosis. Low numbers of ripe wart sori can be tolerated, if substantial necrosis occurs simultaneously. The key is a combination of the testing procedures of the two former German States and has been officially applied in Germany since 1992.
