Author(s): Nivedita Gupta, Sonia Sood and Deepika Sud
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Experimental farm, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kangra, Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur, H.P., during rainy season, 2016 to find out the effect of YVMV incidence on different mutated seeds of P-8 okra variety. According to the description of disease scale for YVMV, the results from the experiment revealed that mutants from three treatments possessing resistance against YVMV were 1.6% EMS, combination of 65kR with 1.2% EMS and 85kR with 1.4% EMS while others are moderately resistant as compared to check variety Pusa Sawani which is highly susceptible. The resistant lines have been isolated and will be tested again in the next generation.
