Evaluation of Sesame Genotypes against Leaf Webber and Capsule Borer, Antigastra Catalaunalis (Duponchel) Resistance
Main Article Content
Abstract
Evaluation of sesame genotypes against leaf webber and capsule borer (Antigastra catalaunalis) was carried out under field conditions at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Polasa, Jagtial, during late kharif 2018 and 2019. A total of 60 genotypes, along with a resistant check, SI-250 and a susceptible check, TC-25 were screened. During the two years of screening, none of the genotypes were highly resistant to A. catalaunalis. Seven sesame genotypes viz., JCS 3894, JCS 3884, JCS 3594, JCS 3265, JCS 3910, JCS 4018 and JCS 3605, were categorized as resistant and two genotypes, JCS 3755 and SI1052 showed highly susceptible reaction based on grading during the year 2018. The genotypes viz., JCS 3894, JCS 3578, JCS 3593, JCS 3265, SI 9050, JCS 3981 and JCS 3605 showed resistant reactions in the year 2019 and none of the genotypes showed highly susceptible reactions against A. catalaunalis.
