AICCIP, Pune centre : National centre for wilt screening since 1936

摘要

Genotypes of diploid cottons developed by cotton breeding are being screened against Fusarium wilt by "Pune centre techniques". Since the inception of this centre in 1936, twelve thousand nine hundred eighty three diploid cotton genotypes from different AICCIP centres were screened against Fusarium wilt. Only 979 genotypes were observed to be resistant (0.01-10.00% disease) while 1205 were found to be moderately resistant (10.01-30.00 disease). Out of these genotypes, many have been released for general cultivation.
