Abstract
Field screening of linseed genotypes for resistance to wilt in the north central plateau zone of Odisha
Highlights
Linseed or oil flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is the second most important winter oilseed crop and stands next to rapeseed- mustard in area and production in India
In India, during 2013-14 linseed is grown in an area of 292.1 thousand hectares with annual production of 141.2 thousand tonnes and productivity of 484 kg/ha
All the genotypes were assessed visually based on percentage of infected plants for each entry in wilt-sick plot and categorized into six types (Singh et al, 2010) as detailed below: No wilt disease = Immune Up to 5% wilt = Resistant 6 to 10% will = Moderately Resistant 11 to 20% wilt = Moderately Susceptible 21 to 50% wilt = Susceptible Above 50% wilt = Highly Susceptible
Summary
Linseed or oil flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is the second most important winter oilseed crop and stands next to rapeseed- mustard in area and production in India. It has an important position in Indian economy due to its wide industrial utility. In India, during 2013-14 linseed is grown in an area of 292.1 thousand hectares with annual production of 141.2 thousand tonnes and productivity of 484 kg/ha. We need a high yielding linseed variety for late sown conditions with resistance to wilt. With this objective, field screening of linseed genotypes for resistance to wilt was initiated
