This study was undertaken with a view to identify stempbylium blight (Stemphy/ium botryosum Wair.) and wilt (Fusarium orysporum fsp. lentis Vasudeva and Srinivasan)/root rot (mainly species of Rhizoctonia and Fusarium ) resistant/ tolerant genotypes of lentil under field condition. Two different nurseries viz. stemphylium blight screening nursery and wilt/root rot screening nursery were conducted in rod row design between 2007/08 and 2009/10 at Nepalgunj and Rampur. Stemphylium blight nursery comprised of 121 genotypes including checks while wilt/root rot screening nursery consisted of 42 lentil genotypes.....................
