Abstract:
The experiment was conducted during Rabi, 2019-20 to find to Disease resistance reaction of promising cultivar of chickpea against collar rot of chickpea caused by S. rolfsii under artificial inoculation in pot experiment. Ten promising cultivar/genotypes viz., RKG-13-515, GNG-1958, RKG-18-1, JG-14, RVG-201, GNG-1469, GNG-2144, JG-16, CSJ-515(c) and RKG-13-515 (1) were sown in the pots under artificial inoculated condition for screening. Out of the 10 entries screened with soil inoculated in pots, no one varieties show resistance against collar rot disease under artificial inoculated condition. Minimum pre-emergence seed rotting (23.33%) and post emergence seedling mortality (78.26%) were observed in GNG-1958. This shows a high level of aggressiveness of the pathogen or relatively narrow diversification of genetic material under study.
