Abstract
Lentil germplasm has been evaluated against a number of diseases and insect pests, and also for morphological and yield traits. Donors have been identified against all the major diseases and some of these are resistant to two to three diseases. There is a need to screen still larger number of germplasm accessions against insect pests and abiotic stresses. Exotic lines may be used to transfer the bold seed character to the indigenous cultivars.
