In 2011, 83 lines germinated, butnoneofthem wasfoundtoberesistant to Alternarialeafspot, however, five lines were moderately resistant to Alternaria and powdery mildew diseases. During 2012, sixty nine lines were moderately resistant while one is resistant to Alternaria leaf spot. Thegermlasm, GMU-1004 was found to be free from powdery mildew disease, three lines were resistant and fifty eight lines were found moderately resistant.

Two popular varieties, viz., JS-335 and JS-93-05 were sown on four sowing dates i.e. July 2nd fortnight (FN), August 1st FN, August 2nd FN and September 1st FN during the two consecutive kharif crop seasons in FRBD design, replicated thrice. The variety JS-335 recorded significantly higher yield (1296 kg ha-1) than JS-93-05 (690 kg ha-1) . Early sowings during July 2nd FN and August Ist FN recorded significantly at par yields (1087 kg ha-1, 1101 kg ha-1 respectively) with good initial and aging germination percentage (81%, 58.8% respectively). Though September 1st FN sown crop recorded significantly lowest seed yield (860 kg ha-1), the initial and aging germination percentage were highest (88.6%, 66.0%).
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) Diseases and Their Management by Integrated Approach
Field evaluation of fungicides for the management of Alternaria leaf blight of sunflower

Three fungicides, namely SAAF, Mancozeb and Propiconazole in five different treatment combinations as spray and as seed treatment were evaluated against Alternaria leafblight of sunflower at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Nandyal under All India Coordianated Research Project on Sunflower scheme. This experiment was carried out for three years i.e., 2009, 2011 and 2012 during Kharif season. During 2009, the experimental results revealed that combination of seed treatment with SAAF@3g/kg of seed + Mancozeb75%[email protected]% at 30 and 45 days after sowing recorded least per cent disease intensity with highest yield. During 2011, 2012 the results showed that combination of seed treatment with SAAF3g/kg + Propiconazole @0.1% has given highest seed yield with least percent disease intensity. Pooled analysis of three years data reveale...

Studies on Fusarium Wilt of Chickpea and Its Management
Identification of Races of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris, Inciting Wilt of Chickpea in Andhra Pradesh and Parts of Telangana

It is soil and seed borne pathogen. A serious threat in Foc is the evolution of new races, which reduces exploitation of wilt resistance in the crop in a particular area. Eight races (race 0, 1A, 1B/C, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) were reported in the world and among them four races (race 1, 2, 3, 4) were from India. Race 1 was reported from Andhra Pradesh. It is very important to monitor the variation regularly in new isolates collected from different varieties or genotypes and different geographical regions to identify the racial pattern. Development of SCAR markers for identification of Foc isolates is also important as they are highly reliable. Methods: Twenty isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris were obtained from wilt infected plants of chickpea covering different places of Andhra Pradesh including two isolates from Telangana and confirmed the pathogen based on path...

The Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes for all the traits indicating considerable magnitude of genetic variability of the material used for the study. Low heritability coupled with high GAM was observed for seed yield per plant due to high environmental effects and selection is effective. The genetic divergence study infers the grouping of 174 accessions in 13 clusters which indicates prevalence of good extent of diversity in the material. Cluster I had more no. of genotypes followed by clusters IV, VII and VIII. Cluster X had higher mean value for plant height and head diameter, cluster XII had higher test weight and cluster XI had high seed yield per plant. The maximum inter cluster distance was recorded between cluster XI and XII followed by cluster X and XII and clusters V and XII. Hence, it is suggested that if the diverse accessions from these diverse groups are used in the breeding programme, it is expected to produce a wide range of genetic variability in the population. The traits, 100 seed weight, plant height and days to maturity were the major causing genetic divergence among the accessions.

Based on wilting % in pathogenicity test, the isolates were grouped into three categories. All the isolates differed in cultural characters like mycelium colour, margin, texture, pigmentation and morphological characters like macro conidia, micro conidia length, width and chlamydospores diameter. There was no correlation between cultural and morphological characters of Foc isolates except three isolates (Foc-6, Foc-12 and Foc-17). These three isolates have white mycelium, cream colour pigmentation, slow radial growth and highly pathogenic (100% wilt incidence) in nature. Sporulation ability and radial growth of all isolates were also measured. All the isolates exhibited genetic variation in RAPD banding pattern and three major clusters (I, II and III) were found in the dendrogram. Maximum genetic similarity of 80.3% was observed be...
