Abstract:
Among the many diseases causing threat to lentil production, collar rot caused by the ubiquitous soil-borne pathogen Sclerotium rolfsii is a most threatening disease. Collar rot is one of the fast spreading fungal diseases of lentil at seedling stage it causes heavy losses. Total During Rabi 2020–21, fifty genotypes of lentils were tested for resistance to collar rot under artificially inoculated net-house and field environments. Out of 50 genotypes five genotypes viz, IPL 5-09-38, ILL-9948, DPL-15, TAL-6 and DPL-62 were showed moderately resistant reaction in both pot and field conditions. Rest genotypes showed moderately susceptible to highly susceptible reaction.
