Mango germplasm comprised of 51 varieties was evaluated for resistant/tolerance against panicle malformation at Sub Tropical Fruit Farm, Department of Horticulture, Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur. Out of these only Rumani was Resistant, 31 were tolerant, 5 were moderately tolerant and 9 were moderately susceptible. While Neelam was highly susceptible under the climatic condition of this region. Attack was highest in Neelam (50.00 %) followed by the Gulabkhas (31.2), Irvin (31.00 %) and Amrapali (27.4 %) and lowest in Lalmohan (1.3 %) followed by Latkampoo, Maldah (Surajgarha), and Mulayamjam (1.5 %) and Gaurjeet (1.8 %). The resistant and lowest affected varieties may be used for incorporating their immune/tolerance in the other commercial varieties through breeding programme.Keywords

Indian agriculture is now facing second generation problems like raising or lowering of water table, nutrient imbalance, soil degradation, salinity, resurgence of pests and diseases, environmental pollution and decline in farm profit. About 2.5 million tone of additional food grains are required annually in the next 10 years to meet the demand of the growing population. This is a huge challenge as it has to come from shrinking both in quality and quantity. Crop diversification shows lot of promise in alleviating these problems through fulfilling the basic needs and regulating farm income, withstanding weather aberrations, controlling price fluctuation, ensuring balanced food supply, conserving natural resources, reducing the chemical fertilizer and pesticide loads, environmental safety and creating employment opportunity.Keywords
