Abstract:
Nematode is a pest of food grain crop which reduces per acre production. They cause considerable losses in wheat growing areas. It can be controlled by (1) removing nematode galls by sieving, (2) floating away the galls in salt solution and (3) crop rotation. Resistance if available can provide a sure means of controlling the disease. To find out resistant varieties against gall forming nematode, 14 different wheat varieties and advanced lines were conducted both in field and pots. All the varieties and lines tested were found attacked by gall forming nematode. The most susceptible variety was C 271 and the least attacked was Khushal-69. Average percent of gall forming nematode disease in C 271, Mexi Pak-69, Barrani-70, Pak-70, Tarbella-70, 6134 DK PK-1039-7F-1F-5F-3F, Nar 59-PJ 62 XPI 62/son 64 CT 244-Nad-63, Tarnab-73, 8644, 9072 Blue silver, Fr-K58 X Son 64 PK 685 and Khushal-69 were 100.0, 85.70, 65.00, 62.50, 56.65, 52.50, 50.55, 50.0, 48.90, 40.01, 35.70, 26.85 and 5.00 respectively.
