ABSTRACT

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) is an important seed spice, originated in South-Eastern Europe belonging to the family Fabaceae. It is the third largest seed spice in India after coriander and cumin. Although many diseases are reported in fenugreek, wilt is becoming more severe in recent years. However no study has been conducted on this disease in Karnataka, So present study was under taken to identify the sources of resistance. Thirty six and thirty eight genotypes were screened against Fusarium wilt of fenugreek by naturally infected field condition and artificially in sick pot technique, respectively during rabi, 2014-15. The results revealed that twenty four genotypes were found moderately resistant under natural conditions viz., DFC-2, DFC-3, DFC-5, DFC-6, DFC-8, AJM-1, AJM-2, Lam-m-2, DFC-9, DFC-10, DFC-11, DFC-13, DFC-14, DFC-15, DFC-17, DFC-18, DFC-19, DFC-20, DFC-23, DFC-25, DFC-26, DFC-27, DFC-28 and DFC-29, however, in sick pot condition only four genotypes like, DFC-3, DFC-8, DFC-27 and DFC-29 were found moderately resistant. Eleven genotypes were found moderately susceptible, only one genotype showed susceptible reaction i.e., DFC-22 under field condition. However, in sick pot method twenty eight genotypes were found moderately susceptible and 3 genotypes namely DFC-16, DFC-24 and DFC-25 showed susceptible reaction. None of the genotypes were found highly susceptible under field condition but three genotypes viz., Pant Ragini, DFC-22 and DFC-26 were highly susceptible to the disease under sick pot conditions. None of the genotypes was found immune or resistant to the disease in both conditions. Moderately resistant genotypes can be used in breeding programes.
