The use of resistant cultivars with acceptable yield and quality is a key component in managing diseases and pests in an integrated cropping system. Among the various diseases affecting banana in Kerala, Sigatoka leaf spots constitute a major threat. Resistance to the leaf spot disease is a major breeding target of crop improvement programs across the globe and a number of resistant hybrids have been evolved. A total of 350 accessions conserved in a field genebank at the Banana Research Station, Kannara have been characterized and evaluated to identify resistant sources.'Pisang Lilin','Pisang Madu','Pisang Jari Buaya','Pisang Berlin','Cv. Rose','Tongat'and'Sanna Chenkadali'are the Sigatoka leaf spot resistant edible AA diploids identified and used as male/female parents in hybridization.'Pisang Lilin'served as the male parent of two Sigatoka leaf spot resistant hybrids developed and released for cultivation in …
