Abstract

The inheritance of powdery mildew resistance in pea was studied in 10 crosses, involving 16 different parents. The parents, F,s and F2S were grown along with susceptible line L 116 as spreader rows. Natural epidemic in late sown pea crop at Delhi conditions was used to do disease screening. The inheritance pattern studied with χ2 test suggested that the resistance to powdery mildew was monogenic recessive.
