In field trial conducted in a wilt-sick vertisol plot at lCRlSAT
Centre during the 1987-88, 1988-89 and 1989-90 crop seasons, no
Differences In Fuserlum wilt Incidence were observed in a set of
Susceptible, tolerant and resistant Pigeonpea cultivar between row and hlll
Sown plot. Similarly, no change in wilt reaction war observed when
a susceptible and resistant cultivar were sown either pure or mixed on
hills. HIII-rowing can be more economical for evaluating large numbers of
genotypes for wilt resistance than row-Sowing as only one fifth of the area
is required and thus operational expenses are reduced
