Abstract


Sorghum genotypes were evaluated to identify sources for grain mould resistance. Among  the 76 genotypes evaluated, nineteen lines selected in F2  population from the crosses 296 B x IS 3443 ( cross-1) and CK  60B x IS 3443 (cross-3) showed high level of resistance both under field and laboatory testing. Majority of the genotypes were associated with Alternaria sp  and Phoma sp. followed  by Gloeocercospora sorghi and Curvularia sp. The germination was not affected by molds.
