Identification of resistant sources of finger millet lines against neck and finger blast disease
Author(s): TSSK Patro and N Anuradha
Abstract: An experiment was undertaken to evaluate the 3000 finger millet lines including one check variety viz., VR 708 (susceptible) against neck and finger blast disease at Agricultural Research Station, Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh during kharif, 2013 to 2018. Among all the 3000 lines 112 lines have shown resistant reaction under high disease pressure field conditions during kharif 2013.However, only 50 varieties have shown consistent resistant reaction during all the years (2014-18) tested. The percent disease intensity of neck and finger blast ranged from 0.00 to 96.4% and 0.00 to 95.3% respectively, where it was 95.5 and 96.4 PDI of neck and finger blast in check VR 708, a highly susceptible variety.
