, conjugatd with alkaline phosphatase and ELISA kit was prepared localy at a much cheaper cost (<50%) than the imported one . appropriate conditions for specific reactions i.e. dilutions, incubation time and precipitation were determined . the results were highly comparable and large number of potato samples tested aginst PVX with great rapidly and sensitivity.
