Title : RESISTANCE SOURCES OF SELECTED OKRA GENOTYPES AGAINST FRUIT AND SHOOT BORER (Earias vittella FABRICIUS) UNDER FIELD CONDITIONS

Abstract :

An experiment was conducted to screen twenty four different okra genotypes for their susceptibility to E. vittella under field condition Agricultural College Farm, Agricultural College, Bapatla during rabi 2020-21 and rabi 2021-2022. Observations of shoot infestation on twenty four genotypes of okra during rabi 2020-2021 and rabi 2021-2022 varied from 5.81 to 19.72 and 5.84 to 20.36 per cent respectively. Out of twenty four okra genotypes, on the basis of shoot infestation as regards to the level of resistance no genotype was found as resistant, but eleven genotypes i.e., Abelmoschus tetraphyllus var. tetraphyllus (5.65%), 1685 (6.04%), IC-0117024 (6.72%), IC-0112502 (6.96%), IC-0112196 (9.20%), IC-0117331 (10.07%), IC-0117343 (11.16%), IC-0117028 (12.37%), IC-0116967 (12.61%), IC-0601433 (12.89%), IC-0112499 (13.43%), IC-0116966 (14.18%), IC-0022283 (14.75%), IC-0057733 (13.24%) and IC-0601182 (14.67%) were found to be moderately resistant. However twelve genotypes i.e., IC-0042491 (15.31%), IC-0039140 (16.87%), IC-0601411 (16.12%), IC-0117319 (16.78%), A. Anamika (15.68%), IC-0602982 (17.55%), IC-0601181 (18.29%), IC-0039139 (18.72%) and A. Abhay (18.96%) were found as moderately susceptible genotypes.
