ABSTRACT
A set of 32 genotypes of pearl millet were screened against two chemicals (20% PEG-6000 and 1.25% alcohol) to check their response. Only 5 entries rated as resistant and healthy to both the chemicals. Rest of genotypes were either resistant on only one chemical or susceptible/un-healthy to the both the chemicals.
Key words :
Osmoticum, pearl millet, Polyethylene glycol, Pennisetum glaucum.
