All agricultural crops are severely damaged when not protected against pathogens. A compasison of different means of protection shown that the application of resistance is highly preferable. The great economic importance of this cost-effective and biological safe mean of protection is obvious in all types and areas of plant production. During the last 5 years in Plant genetics and Pathology Department of VASI have done different researches on genetic deversity of pathogens and different plant genetic diversity of materials of rice, groundnut, soybean, potato and taro. A numerous resistance varieties were susscesfully selected and were expanded in large scale in production (such as bacterial will resistance groundnut variety MD. 7, rust resistance and high yield soybean variety DT. 2000). Research on genetic diversity and breeding for resistance by using modern molecular biotechnology methods and also research on sustainable agriculture will give high priority in the next 5 years.
