The experiment was conducted in pots (30 cm in diameter.) which were filled with field soil. Ten selfed seeds of each of 11 genotypes of pigeonpea were sown in three pots at different dates viz., 15th September 2003, 25th November 2003 and 16th January 2004 to know the effect of different dates of sowing on the first symptom appearance and incidence of disease. Pigeonpea genotypes susceptible to sterility mosaic, exhibited symptoms of disease irrespective of three different dates of sowing. The highly resistant genotypes like ICP 7035 and ICP 8862 were free from sterility mosaic at all different dates of sowing. The incidence of disease in all genotypes sown in September was significantly higher as compared to incidence of disease exhibited by genotypes sown in November and January. The period required for first symptom appearance was significantly shorter in September sowing crop as compared to crop grown in November and January.

Abstract


The experiment was conducted in pots (30 cm in diameter.) which were filled with field soil. Ten selfed seeds of each of 11 genotypes of pigeonpea were sown in three pots at different dates viz., 15th September 2003, 25th November 2003 and 16th January 2004 to know the effect of different dates of sowing on the first symptom appearance and incidence of disease. Pigeonpea genotypes susceptible to sterility mosaic, exhibited symptoms of disease irrespective of three different dates of sowing. The highly resistant genotypes like ICP 7035 and ICP 8862 were free from sterility mosaic at all different dates of sowing. The incidence of disease in all genotypes sown in September was significantly higher as compared to incidence of disease exhibited by genotypes sown in November and January. The period required for first symptom appearance was significantly shorter in September sowing crop as compared to crop grown in November and January.
