Screening of Oilseed Brassica Varieties/Entries against Sclerotinia Rot Disease

Field trial was conducted in Rabi, 2016-17 at Dholi research farm to screen entries of rapeseedmustard against Sclerotinia rot disease. Ten entries namely DRMR-261, DRMR-2035, DRMR-32, DRMR-73, RMWR-09-5, DRMR-72, DRMR-7, DRMR-40, NRCYS- 5-2, and NPC 16were collected from AICRP on Rapeseed-mustard, TCA, Dholi centre. These entries were screened under artificial inoculated conditions against Sclerotinia rot disease. These entries were sown in paired-row with two replications between a susceptible check, 66-197-3 (yellow sarson). The results indicated that the test entries differed in their reactions against the disease. Out of ten entries, one entry i.e. DRMR-72 was found resistant against Sclerotinia rot disease. However, out of ten entries under test, four test entries i.e. DRMR-2035, DRMR-32, DRMR-73, and DRMR-40 were found moderately resistant (MR) against Sclerotinia rot.
