Resistance to Net Blotch [Helminthosporium teres Sacc.] and Leaf Spot [Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc.) Shoemaker] in Barley

Barley accessions including released varieties, advanced lines and exotic were screened under artificial inoculation for resistance to net blotch (Helminthosporium teres Sacc.) and leaf spots (Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc). Shoemaker) under field conditions for two years. Out of the 239 accessions evaluated, six were highly resistant to net blotch and 15 were highly resistant to leaf spot. Five lines namely, DL 472, RD 2052, BH 87, KARAN 16 and K 18 were highly resistant to both the diseases.
