SCREENING OF SWEET PEPPER GERMPLASM FOR RESISTANCE TO BACTERIAL WILT (Ralstonia solanacearum)

摘要

A set of thirty genotypes of sweet pepper comprising exotic and indigenous collections were screened against bacterial wilt in the wilt sick plots maintained in the Experimental Farm of Dept of Vegetable Science and Floriculture. Two genotypes, IHR -546 and PBC 631, were found highly resistant to bacterial wi five genotypes vi:; Arka Gaurav, PBC 505, Cap B, Bestidon and Cap C were observed as moderately resistant and the remaining twenty three were moderately to highly susceptible. The studies indicated the presence of resistance genes and the same can be utilized in developing wilt resistant sweet pepper cultivars.
