    Abstract

    Twenty‐five non‐senescent sorghum genotypes were screened for stalk rot reaction against the five stalk rot pathogens inoculated individually by the toothpick inoculation method under field conditions. Five genotypes (Q 101, Q 102, Q 103, Q 104 and PQ 54) were found resistant (<5% plants lodged) against all the five stalk rot pathogens. More greener leaf area at physiological maturity, confirmed the resistance in the non‐senescent sorghum genotypes. E 36–1, a stalk rot‐resistant genotype, showed resistance against all the pathogens except Fusarium moniliforme. There was strong positive correlation between all the stalk rot disease evaluation parameters.
