Abstract
Three inoculation techniques for screening peas (P. sativum) for resistance to stem rot caused by R. solani AG4 were compared. The corn kernel technique gave a consistent separation between resistant and susceptible genotypes in growth chamber and field studies. Among 68 entries, 3 cultivars, 4 breeding lines and 1 PI [plant introduction] line had partial resistance. Resistance (expressed as a stem reaction) was not uniform within each taxon and varied with environmental conditions.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
