Abstract

In the present study, 178 soybean germplasm lines along with eight checks were screened at Palampur during the kharif, 2023 and 2024, to identify resistant sources against pod blight, brown spot and bacterial pustules. PDI for pod blight varied from 0.0 to 78.52% with absolute resistance by line 'IC0118611' and that of 0.0 to 68.89% with absolute resistance in line ‘EC287456’ and Himso 1685 for brown spot. Similarly, 10 germplasm lines along with Himso 1685 showed immune response to bacterial pustules with PDI between 0.0 to 59.44%. Overall, highly resistance reaction exhibited by 15 germplasm lines for brown spot and bacterial pustules, 14 for pod blight and bacterial pustules, six lines for pod blight and brown spot, and that of five lines viz., EC287456, IC0501258, EC0039755, IC24060 and IC0118562 for pod blight, brown spot and bacterial pustules, highlighting their potential for developing varieties with stable resistance to these diseases.
