SCREENING OF GROUNDNUT GENOTYPES FOR LEAF SPOTS AND RUST RESISTANCE (Pages : 7 - 10)

A total of 25 groundnut genotypes were evaluated during 2000-01, 2001-02 and 2002-2003 against leaf spot and rust diseases to select resistant sources. The genotypes were scored at 0-5 scale one week before harvest against both the diseases. The genotypes namely; 259/88 and 262/88 were found moderately resistant to both leaf spot and rust diseases. It was noted that genotype 269/89 was moderately resistant against leaf spot disease only and M-5 and 255/88 were moderately resistant to rust only. Leaf spots and rust moderately resistant genotypes had lower percentage defoliation. Download
