Abstract : A study to determine intensity and varietal susceptibility of floral malformation was carried out in Sabour, Bihar, India in 1994-1995. Findings revealed that different germplasm had varying degree of incidence of floral malformation. Maximum intensity of light, medium, and heavy type of floral malformation was recorded in collection number 10/85, 1/80, and 20/85, respectively, whereas collection number 20/80 had less incidence of all types (light, medium, and heavy) of malformation. Thirty-two types including the control, Langra, were examined and none were free from floral malformation.
