Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Field screening of okra genotypes for resistance against leafhopper Amrasca biguttula biguttula (Ishida)” were conducted at Chilli and vegetables research unit, Dr. PDKV, Akola Dist. Akola 444 104 during Kharif 2022- 23. The trial consisted of 15 genotypes replicated twice in Randomized Block Design. The research was performed to check out the reaction of different okra genotypes against leafhopper. The studies on field screening of okra genotypes revealed that none of the genotypes were completely free from the leafhopper infestation, although they differ significantly in their percentage of damage and number of populations. Among these PDKV Pragati, Arka Anamika, Pusa A-4 and AKOV- 117 were found least average leafhoppers population <3.012 per 3 leaves per 5 plants and graded under resistant category. While, maximum mean leafhoppers population >5.068 leafhoppers per 3 leaves per 5 plants were observed on the genotypes viz., AKOV- 145, AKOV- 118, AKOV- 154 and AKOV- 160 and categorized as susceptible.
