Abstract

Pigeonpea diseases are the major constraints in realizing the high yield potential of improved pigeonpea genotypes. Among diseases, fusarium wilt and sterility mosaic disease are the major constraints to pigeonpea production worldwide and phytophthora blight and alternaria blight are recently emerging as potential threats to pigeonpea production. A large volume of literature is available on studies related to various aspects of fusarium wilt, sterility mosaic disease, phytophthora blight and alternaria blight diseases including biology, epidemiology and management methods. In this bulletin, attempts have been made to briefly describe the distribution, economic importance, symptoms and causal organism. Detailed descriptions of stepwise evaluation of the screening techniques developed at ICRISAT for identification of resistant sources are provided. This bulletin will be useful to all researchers involved in the management of these diseases through host plant resistance.
