Abstract

---

Bacterial suspension containing 108 colony forming units (cfu) of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae was used for inoculating detached leaves of 6 commercial rice cultivars In vitro as well as for testing these cultivars in pots in growth chamber conditions by three methods of inoculation i.e., clipping, pin prick and brush respectively. Clipping method resulted in much more lesion length development than either the pin prick and brush method.
