Abstract
Soybean, an important oilseed and legume crop, has risen in popularity in recent years owing to its value in terms of yield and nutrition. Pod Blight caused by Colletotrichum truncatum (Schwa). Andrus and Moore can cause heavy yield loss ranging from 16-100 percent. The present investigation was conducted at Botany Farm, Division of Botany, College of Agriculture, Pune during Kharif 2020 to screen soybean genotypes for pod blight resistance on the basis of percent pod infection (PPI) under field conditions. The experimental material consisted of 30 elite genotypes of soybean obtained from the Officer in charge, Agriculture Research Station (ARS), Kasbe Dig raj, Sangli. Most of the genotypes were found to be moderately resistant (6-25% PPI). None of the genotypes were found immune or resistant. The genotype showing least pod blight incidence was DSb-33.
