Abstract:
The present investigation aimed to identify resistance in Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] against Web blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani (Kuhn) in a field condition. The trial was conducted at Genetics and Plant Breeding Farm of Acharya Narendra Dev University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya. One hundred genotypes were screened in the summer season of the year of 2019- 2020. The severity of was recorded following 0-9 scale. The Mungbean genotypes evaluated were grouped into different categories based on disease reaction, out of one hundred genotypes were screened for their reaction to web blight (Rhizoctonia solani) in the field in field condition. It is clear that out of total test entries screened. One genotype viz., Pusa 1771 was found resistant, while three genotypes viz., Pant M-6, VGG16-055, KMP17-19, were recorded moderately resistant. While twenty three genotypes were noticed moderately susceptible. Twenty two genotypes were found susceptible and twenty one genotypes were documented susceptible. As well as twelve were found highly susceptible. While two genotypes viz., K 851, AKM 12 – 28 were noticed highly susceptible. None of these genotypes was found free from infection. The Mungbean genotypes which were found resistant the could be the choice for resistance against Web blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani (Kuhn).
