ABSTRACT
The efforts were made to evaluate BC5F1, BC4F1 and 12 F1 generations of pigeonpea against two deadly diseases, Fusarium wilt (FW) and sterility mosaic virus (SMD) causing considerable yield losses to the crop. A minimum range of variability in the crosses was observed with respect to the reaction against FW and SMD diseases. The crosses (ICPA-2101-4 × ICPB-2101-4) × ICPB-2101-4, (ICPA-2161-5 × ICPB-2161-5) × ICPB-2161-5 and (ICPA-2043 × Maruti) x Maruti of above generations recorded moderately resistant (MR) and resistant (R) reaction against FW and SMD respectively. This paper reports information for significant use to the breeders and plant pathologists by physical elimination of diseased ones at the early stage, particularly for development of resistant hybrid or variety in pigeonpea.
Key words: Pigeonpea, Fusarium wilt, Sterility mosaic disease, Backcross, Disease reaction.
