tailieunhanh - Screening of genotypes to identify the resistance source against major diseases of soybean under high disease pressure conditions

Charcoal rot and Aerial alight caused by Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid and Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, respectively are major biotic challenges across the country in soybean cultivation. The problem of disease can be overcome nicely by growing resistant variety and using integrated disease management practices. In this concern, for the identification of resistant source, total sixty genotypes including five check varieties namely Shivalik, JS 335, JS 95-60, JS 93-05 and NRC 7 were evaluated under high disease pressure during kharif 2019. The disease index of Rhizoctonia Aerial Blight (RAB) was varied from to per cent. | Screening of genotypes to identify the resistance source against major diseases of soybean under high disease pressure conditions
