The mode of inheritance of resistance to the Pusa isolate of H. sativum was studied in a diallel set of crosses involving four varieties viz., EB. 132, E 1912, EB 2110 and EB 1467. The resistance to H. sativum was observed to be recesssve in expression. Resistance of each of the parent is controlled by a single recessive gene pair. The resistant genes found in the three resistant parents were different from each other.
