Screening of cotton cultivars/genotypes against Bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. malvacearum (Smith).

摘要

Nine genotypes were screened alongwith check LRA 5166 against bacterial blight of cotton during 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 under epiphytotic conditions at Cotton Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. None of the genotype was found immune and resistant against bacterial blight. Four genotypes were found moderately resistant (ARBH 104, NDLH 1905, BS 79 and AKH 0205), 2 genotypes moderately susceptible and 4 genotypes susceptible to bacterial blight alongwith check LRA 5166.
