Experimental field was designed in Alpha Lattice Design with 2 replications and 20 genotypes as treatments. Area Under Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC) value, days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, spike per m<sup>2</sup>, grain per spike, Thousand Kernel Weight (TKW), grain yield were examined. Negative correlation was observed between yield of different genotypes and AUDPC i.e. -0.17322. Genotype BL 4699 and NL 1247 were found to be resistant with AUDPC value 141.7 and 140.6 and yield 3.335MT/ha and 3.604MT/ha respectively. Similarly, genotype BL 4708, NL 1327 and BL 4707 were found to be tolerant with AUDPC value 567.2, 570.6 and 274.6 and yield 3.761MT/ha, 3.642MT/ha and 3.681Mt/ha respectively. So, resistant and tolerant genotypes BL 4699, NL 1247, BL 4708, NL 1327 and BL 4707 could be suggested to incorporate into the breeding program.</p> ER -
