• A. Black rot and shoot borer, respectively
• B. Curl blight black rot and aphids respectively
• C. Leaf curl and fruit borer, respectively
• D. White rust and jassids respectively

Answer 1

The correct option is A Black rot and shoot borer, respectively

$PusasnowballK-1$
$PusasnowballK-1$ is a variety of cauliflower that is resistant to Black rot.
Black rot is a prevalent bacterial disease in crucifers caused by the pathogen $Xanthomonascampestris$. The pathogen initially attacks the leaves. The infected tissue shows wilting and the colour changes from pale green to yellow to finally brown and thereafter it dies.

$PusaA-4$
$PusaA-4$ is the okra variety, resistant to shoot borers. The shoot borer larvae attack during vegetative stage of the plant. It mainly attacks the stem and results in damaging shoots.
