Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.
Resistant varieties are plants within a certain group that are less vulnerable to attack by plant pests or diseases. In seed catalogs, these are often indicated by codes, which may vary from company to company.
The use of resistant varieties is strongly recommended if pest or disease issues have arisen in the past.
