Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2022 at Saheed Gundadhur College of Agriculture and Research Station, Jagdalpur, IGKV, Raipur (CG), to identify the resistant genotypes for blast disease (Magnaporthe grisea). The experiment was conducted under field condition. The screening revealed that none of the genotype was immune or highly resistant. Genotype CFMV 1 (30.63%) and TNEc 1341(9.44%) was recorded highly susceptible and resistant for neck blast respectively. Genotype VR 1163 (43%) was found susceptible for finger blast. The mean of all location revealed that the one genotype TNEc 1342 (8.84%) and IIMR-FM-R21-8011 (9.36) was resistant for neck blast. The incidence ranged from 8.84 to 21.16 and 14.75 to 26.13 in neck blast and finger blast respectively.
