Reaction to Diseases
Fungal foliar leaf spots (Alternaria, Bacterial leaf blight): Observation of five randomly
selected/tagged plants in each replication at peak incidence period (based on the data being
collected in disease progress nursery)may be taken on 10 leaves per plant and presented as PDI
(% Disease Index) = ((Sum of numerical ratings) / (Total no. of leaves recorded x Maximum
disease grade) ) x 100. Ratings (0-4) are based on Sheoraj (1988).
Bacterial blight grading: 0 = Plants completely free from infection; 1 = Spots few scattered; 2 = Leaf area covered upto 10%; 3 = Leaf area covered from 11-20%; 4 = Leaf area covered >20%.
Grey mildew/Rust: 0 = Plants completely free from infection; 1 = Leaf area covered< 5%; 2 = Leaf area covered 6-20%; 3 = Leaf area covered 21-40; 4 = Leaf area covered >40%.
Tobacco streak virus: Observation on all the plants in each replication
TSV Grading(0-4) 0-Free from the disease, 1- few upper leaves showing chlorosis or necrosis;
2- Moderate square drying and few branches affected; 3- Severe burning of squares and more
branches affected; 4- Severe stunting inclusive of above symptoms.

Reaction to Diseases
Fungal foliar leaf spots (Alternaria, Bacterial leaf blight): Observation of five randomly
selected/tagged plants in each replication at peak incidence period (based on the data being
collected in disease progress nursery)may be taken on 10 leaves per plant and presented as PDI
(% Disease Index) = ((Sum of numerical ratings) / (Total no. of leaves recorded x Maximum
disease grade) ) x 100. Ratings (0-4) are based on Sheoraj (1988).
Bacterial blight grading: 0 = Plants completely free from infection; 1 = Spots few scattered; 2 = Leaf area covered upto 10%; 3 = Leaf area covered from 11-20%; 4 = Leaf area covered >20%.
Grey mildew/Rust: 0 = Plants completely free from infection; 1 = Leaf area covered< 5%; 2 = Leaf area covered 6-20%; 3 = Leaf area covered 21-40; 4 = Leaf area covered >40%.
Tobacco streak virus: Observation on all the plants in each replication
TSV Grading(0-4) 0-Free from the disease, 1- few upper leaves showing chlorosis or necrosis;
2- Moderate square drying and few branches affected; 3- Severe burning of squares and more
branches affected; 4- Severe stunting inclusive of above symptoms.

Reaction to Diseases
Fungal foliar leaf spots (Alternaria, Bacterial leaf blight): Observation of five randomly selected/tagged plants in each replication at peak incidence period (based on the data being collected in disease progress nursery)may be taken on 10 leaves per plant and presented as PDI (% Disease Index) = ((Sum of numerical ratings) / (Total no. of leaves recorded x Maximum disease grade) ) x 100. Ratings (0-4) are based on Sheoraj (1988).
Bacterial blight grading: 0 = Plants completely free from infection; 1 = Spots few scattered; 2 = Leaf area covered upto 10%; 3 = Leaf area covered from 11-20%; 4 = Leaf area covered >20%.

ICAR – Bt Cotton Annual Report (2017 – 18) – South Zone
Grey mildew/Rust: 0 = Plants completely free from infection; 1 = Leaf area covered< 5%; 2 = Leaf area covered 6-20%; 3 = Leaf area covered 21-40; 4 = Leaf area covered >40%.
Tobacco streak virus: Observation on all the plants in each replication
TSV Grading(0-4) 0-Free from the disease, 1- few upper leaves showing chlorosis or necrosis; 2- Moderate square drying and few branches affected; 3- Severe burning of squares and more branches affected; 4- Severe stunting inclusive of above symptoms.

Reaction to Diseases
Fungal foliar leaf spots (Alternaria, Bacterial leaf blight): Observation of five randomly
selected/tagged plants in each replication at peak incidence period (based on the data being
collected in disease progress nursery)may be taken on 10 leaves per plant and presented as PDI
(% Disease Index) = ((Sum of numerical ratings) / (Total no. of leaves recorded x Maximum
disease grade) ) x 100. Ratings (0-4) are based on Sheoraj (1988).

Reaction to Diseases
Fungal foliar leaf spots (Alternaria, Bacterial leaf blight): Observation of five randomly
selected/tagged plants in each replication at peak incidence period (based on the data being
collected in disease progress nursery)may be taken on 10 leaves per plant and presented as PDI
(% Disease Index) = ((Sum of numerical ratings) / (Total no. of leaves recorded x Maximum
disease grade) ) x 100. Ratings (0-4) are based on Sheoraj (1988).

For ALB, all varieties including check showed (MS) reaction. For BLB, variety NDLH 1938
showed (MS) and others (MR) reaction. For GM, variety NDLH 1938 showed MR and others
(MS) reaction. Based on overall reaction of all diseases, the entries may not be permitted.
Bacterial blight grading: 0 = Plants completely free from infection; 1 = Spots few scattered; 2 = Leaf area covered upto 10%; 3 = Leaf area covered from 11-20%; 4 = Leaf area covered >20%.
