SCREENING OF POTATO VARIETIES AND GERMPLASM AGAINST LATE BLIGHT DISEASE (Pages : 1 - 4)

The study was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Jamalpur during 2014-2015 to find out resistant or tolerant cultivars against late blight of potato caused by Phytopththora infestans. Seeds of a total 56 cultivars were sown under natural epiphytotic condition. Out of fifty six germplasm 16 germplasm were found highly susceptible and thirty two germplasm were susceptible against P. infestans. Four varieties were moderately resistant. The variety LB-6 was found resistant to late blight. Germplasm Sarpo Mira, Bionica and LB-7 were found highly resistant against P. infestans that can be used in breeding programme for the development of late blight resistant potato variety.Download
