Management of mosaic disease of tomato (Solanum lycopercicum L.) through host resistance

Abstract

Tomato mosaic is consider to be most destructive disease of the crop which causes considerable losses in yield. The investigation regarding the studies on mosaic of tomato was conducted in the year 2018-2019. Twenty tomato germplasm/ varieties/ cultivar viz. Pusa ruby, EC-620406, Arka vikas , EC-771607, EC-676791, Hisar anmol , EC- 514109, EC-677191, EC-677049, EC- 677123, Avinash 2, Arka sourabh, Kashi vishes, kajal, Hiasr arun, Money maker, EC-620417, Arka ananya and EC-617048 collected from National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources and local from local market Jammu were screened for determining resistance against tomato mosaic disease under natural conditions. EC-771607 and Hisar Anmol were found resistant, Kashi Vishes, Hisar Arun and Arka Ananya were found moderately resistant, EC-620406, Arka Vikas, EC-676791, EC-514109,EC-677191, EC-677123, Arka Sourabh, kajal and Local were found moderately susceptible, EC-677049, Avinash 2, Money Maker, EC-620417 and 617048 were found susceptible Pusa Ruby was found highly susceptible.
