Evaluation of Aloe vera genotypes against leaf rot disease under field condition

Aloe vera ( Aloe barbadensis ) is a perennial, succulent plant belongs to the family Liliaceae. Aloe vera leaf rot is one of the major limiting factors in Aloe vera production, which decreases leaf, gel quantity and quality significantly. The experiment was conducted to evaluate the genotypes of Aloe vera against leaf rot disease Out of 26 genotypes, none of genotypes was found the free from disease, three genotypes viz, IC-111280, IC-112531 and IC-112513 were highly resistant, four genotypes viz., IC-111279,IC-112518, IC-285626 and IC-283655 were resistant, nine genotypes viz, IC-310618, IC-471886, IC-310904, IC-112569, IC-112519, IC-112532, IC-310611, IC-310617 and IC-310596 were moderately resistant and rest of the genotype were moderately susceptible to highly susceptible against the disease.
