ABSTRACT

Twelve cucumber varieties/lines (Cuc-30, Cuc-05, Local, Rocky, Hcu-163A, Hashim, Guard HC1, Qasim, Durga, Shaheen, Happy and Green cucumber) were cultivated to find out their genetic potential against Fusarium wilt disease of cucumber in research area of the Department of Plant Pathology University of Agriculture Faisalabad under randomized complete block design (RCBD). None of them was immune and resistant against fusarium wilt of cucumber. Among twelve varieties nine varieties (Green cucumber, Hashim, Rocky, Cu-05, Happy, Durga, Guard HC-1, Cu-30 and Qasim) exhibited moderately susceptible response with 38.0%, 37.78%, 36.0%, 34.0%, 31.12%, 28.0%, 26.0%, 26.0% and 44.45% disease incidence respectively. Shaheen (20.0%) and Hcu-163A (22.50%) expressed moderately resistant response while only one variety (Local) gave highly susceptible reaction with a disease incidence of 55.0%.
