Abstract

Nine finger millet (Eleusine coracana) genotypes were evaluated for resistance to blast (Pyricularia grisea) at ARS, Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, India, during kharif, 2017 under natural disease pressure. None of the genotypes was found free from disease incidence. Minimum percentage of neck and finger blast severity was recorded in PR 202 (51.33 and 26.38) and the maximum percentage of disease severity was observed in BR 14-3 (81.70 and 80.80) whereas it was 90.00 and 90.54 in VR 708 (check) respectively. On the basis of pooled data of all centers, Minimum percentage of neck and finger blast severity was recorded in KOPN 942 (2.91) and PR 202 (12.05) and the maximum percentage of disease severity was observed in GPU 67 (20.63) and BR 14-3 (35.46) respectively.
