ABSTRACT
Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh] is a short lived legume belonging to Cajaninae sub tribe of the economically most important leguminous tribe Phaseoleae. It plays an important role in food and nutritional security because it is a rich source of proteins, minerals and vitamins. During kharif 2015-16, 38 genotypes of pigeonpea were screened against sterility mosaic disease at the Agriculture research station, Bidar under natural epiphytotic condition and also by leaf stapling technique at UAS, Raichur (Karnataka), India. Among the 38 genotypes screened only Bahar genotype showed resistant, 18 genotypes were moderately resistant and 19 genotypes showed susceptible reaction.
Key words: Pigeonpea, Sterility Mosaic Disease (SMD), Screening.
