Abstract
An attempt has been made to identify the suitable small millet genotypes, which can be exploited for developing resistant cultivars against important endemic diseases present in mid-western Himalayas. Results revealed that nine finger millet genotypes viz; VL 234, SANJI 1, PRM 9802, VL 328, VL 333, ED 201- 5A, VR 708, SANJI 1 and VL 324 were completely free from neck and finger blast disease. However, three genotypes of barnyard millet namely; PRB 402, TNAU 92 and VL 216 showed complete resistance against smuts (grain and head smut) and brown spot diseases, while, seven genotypes of foxtail millet viz; GPUS 27, SiA 3039, SiA 3059, SiA 3066, SiA 3088, TNAU 213 and TNAU 235 were found completely free from brown spot. disease.
