| Description |
Resistance to ergot (Cfavkeps fusiformis) in pearl millet, previously identified by using an inoculation technique for field screening, was tested under artificially induced epidemics in the field and greenhouse. The epidemic conditions were created by repeated spray inoculation of protogy-nous panicles with an aqueous honeydew conidial suspension (1 X I06 conidia/ml) under conditions of high relative humidity (>90%) or panicle wetness (>80%) and moderate temperature (20-30 C). There were no significant differences in ergot reactions under artificially induced epidemic conditions and field screening for resistant (30% mean ergot severity) cultivars. However, cultivars that were moderately resistant (10-30% ergot seventy) in field screening showed very low ergot (
