Sources of multiple Resistances to foliar diseases of mango

Abstract

Twenty five cultivars were evaluated against various foliar diseases of mango under natural field conditions during 2013- 2014 and 2014- 2015. None of cultivars showed complete resistance to all the diseases. Most of the cultivars showed resistant to malformation and sooty mould except Arka Nilkiran, Pusa Surya, Pusa Arunima,, Sensation, Dushehari and Pant Sinduri were found to be succeptible to malformation and Pantchandra, Arunika, Langra, Dudhehari, Neelgoa to sooty mould. All the cultivas were found to be succeptible to anthracnose except Sindhu+P+S which was found to be moderately resistant. Langra, Sensation, amarpali and Neeleshan were moderately resistant to red rust. Late Maturity, Langra, Amarpali and Neeleshan to Red rust, Tommy Atkins+ Zill, Arka Nilkiran, Swarna Jahagir and Neeleshan to Phoma blight and Arunika, Pusa Surya, Sindhu+P+S, swarna Jahagir and Neeludin to bacterial spot.
