ABSTRACT

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the major bulb crop of India. Onion is most widely cultivated species of genus Allium and it belongs to family Alliaceae. It is having various uses such as vegetable, spice and as a medicine, so it is rightly called as “queen of kitchen”. Screening of onion genotypes for purple blotch revealed that, the genotype Arka Kalyan was found moderately resistant while the genotypes viz., Arka Pragati,  Arka kirthiman, Arka lalima and Arka Bindu were found moderately susceptible and Arka Niketan, Arka Bhima, Satara gaurva and Bhima Super were susceptible to purple blotch of onion.

Key words: Screening, Allium Cepa, Per Cent Disease Index, Alliaceae and Purple Blotch
