Abstract
Eighty six lines of capsicum were screened for resistance against leaf blight and root rot disease caused by Phytophthora capsici during 2018 by adopting detached leaf and seedling inoculation method, respectively. Out of 86 lines, six lines namely KTC-148, KTC-149, KTPL-19, Chilli Local, Pant Chilli and PBC-631 were found resistant by evaluating 14 days old pepper seedlings grown in poly trays containing peat mixture.Whereasthree lines viz., KTC-144, KTC-148 and PBC-631 were found resistant, when evaluated with detached leaf inoculation method while Chilli Local, KTPL-19 and Chilli Pant were found to be moderately resistant.
