Abstract

Eleven forage composites and their parents were evaluated in 2001 against 6 diverse pathotypes of Sclerospora graminicola (3 from Patancheru (Andhra Pradesh), and 1 each from Mysore (Karnataka), Jalna (Maharashtra) and Jodhpur (Rajasthan)) at the International Crop Research Institute for Semi Arid Tropics, Patancheru, and the Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute, Dharwad, Karnataka, in greenhouse conditions, and also in field nursery, using infector row system at Patancheru. Three genotypes (DRSB 3, DRSB 7 and IP 14305) of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) were resistant with <5% mean downy mildew incidence. Seven genotypes (DRSB 6, DRSB 7, DRSB 10, Giant Bajra, IP 9294, IP 14188 and IP 14305) had <10% downy mildew incidence in Dharwad. Average linkage cluster analysis using Euclidian distances of mean downy mildew incidence across the pathotypes from both locations broadly classified the 17 genotypes into 3 groups: resistant, moderately resistant and susceptible.
