Screening the rust resistant genotypes against root rot complex of soybean under glasshouse

Soybean is an important oil seed and pulse crop. Among various disease root rot disease is complex in nature, which causes predominant yield loss. Since disease is soil borne in nature, chemical method of management is expensive, hence, utilization of resistant cultivars in farming is simple, effective and economical in the management of diseases. In present investigation, ten advanced lines, which are resistant to rust disease were screened against root rot complex of soybean in sick soil in pots under glasshouse. The result revealed that, two genotypes viz., DSb 28-3 and DSb 30-2, were showing moderately susceptible reaction. Five of the genotypes depicted susceptible reaction viz., DSb 24, DSb 25, DSb 33, DSb 34 and DSb 21. Three of the genotypes were highly susceptible viz., DSb 23-2, DSb 27 and JS 335 under glasshouse condition.
