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.
