Abstract
The reaction of 26 coconut cultivars comprising 16 talls, 6 dwarfs and 4 hybrids was tested against T. paradoxa, the pathogen of stem bleeding disease of coconut using detached petiole inoculation method. All the cultivars tested were susceptible to T. paradoxa in different degrees. Maximum lesion size was noticed in Malayan Green Dwarf (158.32 cm2) and minimum in Banawali Green Round (52.62 cm2).
