REACTION OF CHICKPEA VARIETIES TO MACROPHOMINA PHASEOLINA AND THEIR EFFECT ON PEROXIDASE ACTIVITY MOHD. SHAIKHUL ASHRAF, TABREIZ AHMAD KHAN* AND SABIHA HASAN
Abstract:
Out of 56 chickpea varieties screened for their resistance against Macrophomina
phaseolina, only one variety (BGD -98) was found resistant. Three
varieties viz., BG-1108, BGD-117 and RSG-143 were moderately resistant
and six varieties viz., BG-390, BG-1095, Biogreen, GPF-2, ICCV-92337
and SBD-77 were tolerant. Rest of the varieties were either susceptible
or highly susceptible to M. phaseolina. A positive correlation
was found between peroxidase activity and resistance to the varieties.
