The Foodcrops Research Programme of the Plant Pathology Division of the MSIRI was focussed in 1970 on the following major diseases: bacterial wilt and blight of potato, and Cercospora leaf spot of groundnut. Methods of investigations and preliminary results concerning the epidemiology of the diseases, their control with fungicides and the testing of new varieties for resistance are outlined. Of 19 potato varieties tested in 1970, only two have shown some tolerance to bacterial wilt, 5 have shown high resistance to blight. Of 9 groundnuts varieties, 2 have shown high resistance to wilt. The local variety Cabri was more susceptible to Cercospora leaf spot than Virginia varieties. | |
