 ABSTRACT

Screenings were carried out on, Ten inbred lines and twelve commercially released hybrids. The reactions of maize inbred lines against turcicum leaf blight disease used inbreds are 117(JCY-7-1-2-1-b-2-1-3-1), 24 (LM 13), 190 (WCP16), 184 (WCP10), 28 (HVZM371), 69 (DMSC 20), 88 (WINPOP-47), 146 (CML 421’ CML 170),  31 (LM6) and DMSC 19 andinbred lines collected from Maize Research Station, ARI, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad was screened for identifying sources of resistance against Exserohilum turcicum by artificial inoculated conditions in glasshouse.
Twelve commercially released hybrids collected from diiferent companies, were screened and results presented DHM-117, 30V92, GHM 145, PAC 74O, GK 3060, KMH 225(Delux), FMH 8899 (Bhuvana), KMH 218, SCORPIO, RMH 4(Tip top), RMH 7 (New top star) and RMH 25(Gold star).

Key words: Maize, Turcicum leaf blight, Exserohilum turcicum, inbred lines, Hybrids.
