  Spot blotch incited by Bipolaris sorokiniana is one of the most important foliar disease limiting wheat production in Nepal. A field experiment was conducted from 13 December 2017 to 12 April 2018 in the research field of National Wheat Research Program (NWRP), Padsari-1 Rupandehi, Nepal to evaluate response of 12 wheat varieties against spot blotch caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana. The experiment was laid out in Randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 12 treatments and three replications. Individual treatment plot was 2 m2 and total research field area was 152.5 m2. Disease scoring was done by double digit scoring starting from heading stage in which 4 scorings were done at 7 days interval following Zadok scale. Different traits taken for scoring were lesion size, lesion mimic, leaf tip necrosis, spike length, peduncle extrusion at differen.. View more»
