Abstract:

Thirty three doubled haploids of Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata A. Braun) were evaluated along with mustard against Alternaria brassicae under natural epiphytotic field condition at hot spot location to identify disease resistant genotypes. Only one genotype viz., Pusa Jaikisan appeared to be moderately resistant while all remaining 32 genotypes exhibited susceptible to moderately susceptible reaction on leaves. Based upon disease reaction on pods, two genotypes viz., P-26 and P-34 appeared to be resistant while 28 genotypes exhibited moderately resistant reaction. Only 3 genotypes viz., P-89, P-62 and Pusa Jaikisan were found to be moderately susceptible to Alternaria blight.

Keywords:

Ethiopian mustard, doubled haploids, Alternaria blight, resistance.
