Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to screen the different garlic genotypes against thrips infestation at Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture, Kolar during Rabi season of 2016-17. Out of twenty six genotypes, Yamuna Safed, Ranebennur Local, Jamnagar Local, Mandsaur Local, GN-14-01, Ooty Local and Baram Local-06 were recorded thrips population less than 6.93 per plant and were categorized as resistant. While, genotypes viz., Bhima Purple, Yamuna Safed-2, Yamuna Safed-3, Yamuna Safed-4, Yamuna Safed-5, Yamuna Safed-8, Yamuna Safed-9, Baram Local-06, Jamnagar Local, Mandsaur Local, Ranebennur Local, Ooty Local, GRS-1330, GN-14-25, GN-14-15, DWG-2 and DWG-1 (check) were found to be resistant against purple blotch disease.
