During 1976-83, severity of infection on the selected accessions ranged from <1 to 7% compared with 42 to 69% on the susceptible standard NHB3. The accessions also showed 14-18% severity of infection by Puccinia penniseti [P. substriata var. penicillariae ] at Patancheru and Bharanisagar (India) during 1982-83, compared to 33% for the susceptible standard. At Patancheru the accessions were 1.5-2 m tall, produced 2-4 tillers, flowered 50-60 days after sowing and had panicles 22-40 cm long; 1000-seed weight ranged from 6.1 to 7.8 g Crop Science Society of America 1990 Article PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://oar.icrisat.org/7631/1/CropScience_30_5_1164_1990.pdf Singh, S D and King, S B and Reddy, P M (1990) Registration of five pearl millet germplasm sources with stable resistance to downy mildew.
