Abstract
Screening of capsicum hybrids were conducted under protected cultivation during kharif 2018 and rabi 2018-19. The results indicated that out of fourteen hybrids screened, none of them were found to be highly resistant, resistant and moderately resistant during both the seasons. During kharif 2018 out of fourteen hybrids screened, six hybrids were found to be moderately susceptible viz., Maxibell, Shristika, SV1865PB, Asha, Arka Gaurav and Arka Basanti for leaf curl disease. For mild mottle disease, hybrids Arka Gaurav and Arka Basanti recorded moderately resistant reaction. However, during rabi 2018-19 eight hybrids viz., Maxibell, Shristika, SV1865PB, Asha, Indra, Arka Gaurav, Arka Basanti and Rithal showed susceptible reaction for leaf curl disease. Whereas, eight hybrids viz., Shristika, SV1865PB, Asha, Indra, Arka Gaurav, Arka Basanti, 35-160-R2 and NSX 8 recorded moderately susceptible for mosaic disease. The symptoms observed during screening included mosaic and mottling, yellow discoloration, vein clearing, leaf deformation and narrowing, stunted plant growth, reduced fruit setting and light green colour mottling symptoms on fruits.
