GENETIC RESPONSE OF CITRUS GERMPLASM AGAINST CITRUS LEAF MINER

Fifteen citrus varieties/ cultivars were evaluated to observe the genetic response against citrus leaf miner (Phyllocnistis citrilla) for two years at Dept. Plant pathology research area by using Augmented design. Citrus reticulata cv. Kinnow, Citrus sinensis cv. Jaffa expressed moderately susceptible response towards CLM (17.4 – 18.50%) infestations while seven varieties/ cultivars (Citrus sinensis cv. pine apple, Citrus sinensis cv. Succari, Citrus reticulata cv. mungal singh, Citrus reticulata cv. Tangerine, Citrus reticulata cv. Malta, Citrus sinensis cv. valentia late, Citrus reticulata cv. feutral’s early) exhibited susceptible response with 20.16 – 29.27 % insect population. Citrus limonia cv. china lemon, Citrus paradise, Citrus sinensis cv. Musambi, Citrus limettioides, Citrus sinensis cv. blood red, Citrus limonia cv. mayer lemon showed high inclination ((30.44 – 38.38%) to Phyllocnistis citrilla.
