Study Design: Randomized block design (RBD) at a 5% level of significance. Place and Duration of Study: The study was undertaken in the Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 cropping seasons. Methodology: A total of 210 F 5 and F 6 progenies from the cross WH711 (susceptible) x PBW698 (resistant) including parents were evaluated in a single row of 1m length and 11 different morphological traits were included in the study. Infector rows were planted and artificial inoculation Original Research Article
