Title :	Intensity of Common Root Rot on Wheat Genotypes
Material Type:	printed text

Keywords:	Bipolaris  sorokiniana,  common  root  rot,  dry  land  wheat
Abstract:	Common root rot of wheat caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc. in Sorok.) has been an emerging problem in Nepal. This study was conducted to determine the level of resistance in promising wheat genotypes. Thirty wheat genotypes were tested under natural epiphytotic condition for the intensity of infection on subcrown internode and crown root. None of the wheat varieties were found immune common root rot. However, genotype BL 2246, BL 2203, CHAM-4 and BL 2262 had low level of infection denoting resistant character. Most of the genotypes had moderate level of root rot index that ranged from 20-35 percent. Genotypes BL 2302, BL 1724 had more than 50 percent root rot index. The resistant genotypes have to be further tested under artificial and sick plot condition for confirmation of the above result.
