• Keep the resistant entries (few bolls of selfed seeds) from the initial evaluation trials (IET) -National trials viz., Br. 02a or b for G. hirsutum varieties, Br. 22 a/b for G. arboreum, Br. 14a for G. barbadense and Br. 32 b after screening against important diseases.
• Record resistant entries only for 2-3 important key diseases.

• Those lines will be evaluated again next year by the concerned pathologist at his center under field conditions and also tested at hot spot for that particular disease under nursery/ artificial inoculation condition at below mentioned centers to have confirmed final reaction.
• Such entries with two years field screening and one year artificial screening data will be kept by Plant Pathologists for use in developing resistant varieties/ hybrids by that center.
• The field screening will be considered valid only in those years when at atleast 3 to 4 grade reaction is observed in susceptible checks in screeing trails.

• Artificial Screening Centers:

• BLB at Surat
• Alternaria at MPKV, Rahuri
• Myrothecium at Khandawa
• Grey Mildew at Dharwad
• CLCuV & Root rot disease at CICR, Sirsa
• Fusarium wilt at Pune
