Abstract

An important aspect in breeding is to identify the disease resistant and susceptible varieties to use the resistant varieties in breeding programme. Therefore twelve indigenous mulberry genotypes i. e.S13, C1730, S146, Anantha, TGC, TR10, V1, S1635, C2017, Besalla, RFS 175, and C 2016 were selected to screen their resistance against leaf spot, powdery mildew, leaf blight and leaf rust diseases. The disease incidence was recorded during spring and autumn crops after full expression of the disease under natural conditions.
