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. publisher: Springer Nature date: 2017-09-08 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/10190/1/Node%20inoculation.pdf identifier: Chand, R and Singh, C K and Singh, V and Singh, J and Sharma, M (2017) Node inoculation: A quick and easy technique to screen pigeonpea for resistance to Phytophthora blight.
