Abstract :Preference level of colorado potato beetle among eight potato cultivars; Granola, Impala, Isola, Marfona, Pasinler-92, Caspar, Sultan and Concorde were tested during 1993 and 1994 in Erzincan Province. In both years, the adults preferred c.v. Granola most and Caspar least among varietes in open field conditions. In the experiments conducted in cages in field conditions, no certain result were determined in terms of the variety preferences of the adults. Because great variability in vegetative volumes of the plants prevented us to reach correct results.
