the remaining were rated moderately to highly susceptible. Most of the resistant
lines originated from the USSR, Turkey and Afghanistan (Tab. 2).
Desi Germplasm
A total of 6005 desi germplasm lines maintained at ICRISAT Center including
37 available at ICARDA were screened during the 1979/80 and 1980/81 seasons.
The summary of results is presented in Tab. 3.
A total of 13 and 200 lines were given a ring of 2 and 3, respectively, and are
considered as resistant (3.54%). Four hundred and forty-two lines (7.36%,
showed 4 rating (moderately resistant), 253 lines (4.21%) showed tolerant reaction
and t e remaining had susceptible to highly susceptible ratings. The lines
with 2 and 3 ratings are listed below:
