Abstract

33 finger millet (Eleusine coracana) genotypes were evaluated for resistance to blast (Pyricularia grisea) at Agricultural Research Station, Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, India, during kharif, 2019 under natural disease pressure. None of the genotypes was found free from disease incidence. Minimum percentage of neck and finger blast severity was recorded in VL 399 (19.0% and 15.0%) and the maximum percentage of disease severity was observed in PR 1643 (69.3% and 62.3%) whereas it was 73.5% and 74.0% in Udurumalliga (check) respectively. Minimum percentage of banded blight was recorded in check GE 4449 (20.0%) and all the varieties showed high susceptibility. Maximum percentage of banded blight was recorded in check Udurumalliga (98.0%).
