N2  - 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.

Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) for developing the project
and the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India for financial
support.
