Abstract

An experiment was conducted to identify promising accessions suited for cultivation under cold arid conditions of Leh, Ladakh. Twenty two accessions of French bean were screened for resistance to angular leaf spot disease during the spring seasons of 2016 and 2017 in the Experimental field of High Mountain Arid Agriculture Research Institute (HMAARI) Leh, Ladakh, Sheri Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir. The study revealed that under natural epiphytotic conditions none of the accessions was resistant in reaction. Eight accessions viz., Acc-WB22, Acc-1643, Acc-1690, Acc-811, Acc-4564, WB-1247, WB- 185 and Acc-252 were moderately susceptible. All other fourteen accessions viz., Acc-966, Acc-335, Acc-1129, Acc-21529, Acc- WB216, Acc-719, WB-956, Acc-622, Acc-1492, Acc-195, Anupama, WB-6, WB-257 and Local exhibited susceptible reaction.
