सार

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus Sub sp. Culinaris) is a highly nutritious pulse crop grown globally as a rainfed crop in the winter season and also a cheap source of protein for rural people. Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis (Fol), is a major fungal disease that affects lentil crops, leading to a significant yield reduction. In this study, 50 lentil genotypes were screened against a highly aggressive Fol isolate (AGLF-11) under greenhouse conditions. Out of the tested genotypes, 14 showed high susceptibility, 29 showed moderate susceptibility, 5 exhibited moderate resistance and only 2 genotypes (L 7920 and DPL 58) showed resistance to the Fol isolate. Thus, the two genotypes (L 7920 and DPL 58) hold promise for breeding programmes aimed at developing lentil varieties with improved resistance to this devastating fungal disease, which could help mitigate yield reduction and ensure the continued cultivation of this highly nutritious pulse crop for ensuring nutritional security among rural people.
