Abstract:
An experiment entitled ‘Screening of different okra genotypes against jassid, Amrasca biguttula biguttula (Ishida)’ were conducted on the research farm of Vegetable Improvement Scheme, Central Experiment Station, Wakawali, under DBSKKV, Dapoli during Summer 2019 and Summer 2020. Fifteen genotypes of okra, namely, Arka Abhay, HRB-108-4, PB-226, Hariya- 351, Veldhe Local, Parbhani Kranti, Okra Local, Kashi Pragati, Phule Utkrasha, Evergreen, Arka Anamika, Pusa Sawani, Varsha Uphar, Bantiware Local and Phule Vimukta were screened for their relative susceptibility against jassid, A. biguttula biguttula (Ishida). Among these, two genotypes viz., Arka Anamika and Arka Abhay were found least susceptible (<4.16 jassid/ 3 leaves) while, three genotypes viz., Okra local, Pusa Sawani and Bantiware Local were found highly susceptible (>9.46 jassid/ 3 leaves) and remaining all genotypes were found moderately susceptible to the jassid population.
