Evaluation of wild species of jute (Corchorus spp.) for fibre yield and resistance to stem rot [Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid.] and stem weevil (Apion corchori Marshall)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The two cultivated species of jute (Corchorus capsularis L. and C. olitorius L.) are prone to disease and pest attack. Suitable parents having resistance to stem rot and stem weevil need to be identified for breeding work. With this view, 84 out of collected 300 germplasm of seven wild species of jute maintained by Central Research Institute for Jute and Allied Fibres (CRIJAF), Barrackpore, were taken up for evaluating quantitative traits and resistance to stem rot and jute stem weevil under natural field condition.
