Abstract:
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor Linn. Moench) popularly known as Jowar, is the major cereal consumed in India and ranks fifth after wheat, rice, maize and pearl millet. A total of 23 sorghum genotypes were screened for their reaction against turcicum leaf blight under glass house condition. Out of 23 genotypes screened, four showed resistant reaction (Grade-2) viz., J-P-1-5, J-9, IS-2312 and C-42. Whereas M 35-1, J-33, J-3-1, J-4-1, Chincholli, GS-23, E-36-1, J-35, C-35, J-9-12, J-6-2, J-11, C-30, J-8 and C-28 showed moderately resistant reaction (Grade-3) and remaining four genotypes viz., DSV-4, SPV-86, DJ-6514, H-112 recorded susceptible reaction (Grade-4).
