Abstract

Two varieties each of Triticum dicoccum (DDK- 1013, DDK-1015) and Triticum durum (HD-4502 and MACS-3018) and five of Triticum aestivum (DWR 185, PBN 142, VL 738, HD 2189 and HS 240) were identified as slow leaf blighters. The overall observations indicated that, the genotype belonging T. aestivum group had more resistance to Exeserohilum hawaiiensis than T. durum and T. dicoccum.
