        abstract = {The petiole on pigeonpea was removed for easy,
precise inoculation of node with Phytophthora drechsleri
f. sp. cajani. After node inoculation, 96.0\% plants were
infected compared with 89.0\% after stem-cut inoculation.
Among various nodes inoculated on 30-day-old plants, the
5th node had the greatest relative susceptibility (90.0\%), followed
by the 3rd node (78.0\%). This technique was validated
on different cultivars (ICP 7119, Bahar, MA 6 and MAL
13), and 586 lines were successfully screened in the field,
confirming the rapidity and effectiveness of the technique
for resistance screening.}
