Screening of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) genotypes against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis under natural as well as artificial epiphytotic condition

Out of 300 hundred genotypes under wilt sick plot technique, none of entries were found immune or disease free. Out of 300 genotypes screened under natural condition as well as under artificial inoculated condition, none of the entries were found immune. However, fifty entries viz., IPL 213, KLS 2003-3, KLS 218, SL 73-3, WBL 77, SL94-08, KLS97-7, JL 30, JL 31, DPL 62, IPL -525, KLS-224, KLS 227, IPL 81, LL 1049, SLC 38, L 4580, L 4076, JL 3, L 4689, NDL 6-1-8, DPL 15, L 4679, LL 985, LL 968, LY 688, NDL 6-1-5, LH-3-11, L 4687, PL-01, LH 3-12, VL 133, RLG 62, LH 4-4, LY 4685, L 4581, LH 84-8, PL 024, PL 063, LL 931, LH 4-1, LH 4-1, LH 84-8, VL 132, VL 515, L 4682, NDL 6-1-5, L 4147, VL-514, LH 3-38 were recorded resistance reaction against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Lentis under natural condition. Where 73 genotypes were noticed moderately resistant, 61 genotypes were recorded moderately susceptible, 59 genotypes were expressed susceptible and 57 were found highly susceptible. None of the genotypes was found immune against the disease.
