SCREENING OF GERMPLASMS FOR RESISTANCE TO BOTRYTIS GRAY MOLD OF CHICKPEA (Pages : 16 - 21)

The experiment was conducted at RARS, BARI, Rahmatpur, Barisal to find out the resistant source of Botrytis Gray Mold (BGM) of chickpea under natural epiphytotic condition. Fifty two chickpea germplasms/variety were used and finally 23 germplasms/variety were selected during 2012-2013. Out of 23 chickpea germplasms, 18 germplasms showed highly resistant (HR) and 5 germplasms observed resistant (R) at flowering stage, one germplasm (BD-6041) showed highly resistant (HR) and 22 germplasms showed resistant (R) at pod setting stage, 22 germplasms found resistant (R) and one variety (BARI Chickpea-5) showed Highly Susceptible (HS) reaction at the maturity stage. Out of tested 23 germplasms/varieties the tallest (56.50 cm) plant was found in check variety BARI Chickpea 9 and the shortest plant (29.40 cm) was recorded in case of germplasm BD-6346. The maximum duration for maturity (137 days) was recorded in germplasm BD-6352 and the minimum duration (134.5 days) was recorded in germplasm BD-6036. The highest 100-seed weight was 24.50 g (BARI Chickpea-9) and the lowest 100-seed weight was 8.00 g (BD-6042). The maximum yield was recorded 1660.0 kg/ha from germplasm BD-6352 and the minimum yield was recorded 340.0 kg/ha from germplasm BD-6036 and BD-6041.Download
