- Abstract
Four hundred-sixty-six lentil genotypes were evaluated to identify the potential sources of resistance against 4 major fungal diseases namely; Fusarium wilt (FW), collar rot (CR), botrytis grey mould (BGM) and Lentil rust (LR). Screening of germplasm was performed at hotspots under high inoculum pressure at Sialkot and Faisalabad regions during 2012-14. Most of the genotypes were susceptible to highly susceptible against all diseases. One genotype LPP 12089 was found highly resistant against FW disease while LPP 11002 was found highly resistant against BGM and LR diseases. However, 23 genotypes were found having resistance against more than one diseases. One genotype LPP 12012 was found to be resistant against all four diseases; 3 genotypes (LPP 11001, LPP 11002 and LPP 12040) were identified as best sources of multiple disease resistance for traditional lentil growing regions of Pakistan whereas 12 genotypes showing resistance against FW and CR were identified as best sources of multiple disease resistance for the regions other than traditional areas of Pakistan. These identified sources of resistance can either be used directly as resistant varieties after verifying their agronomic traits or can be used in lentil breeding programs for the evolution of multiple disease resistant varieties for commercial cultivation.
