Reaction of Chickpea Genotypes against Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labr. Causal Agent of Ascochyta blight Disease

29031

This study was carried out to determine the reaction of chickpea genotypes against Ascochyta blight disease under field conditions in 2004 and 2005. Experimental design was randomized blok design with three replication. The disease was not observed in 2004 growing season due to unfavorable weather conditions for the disease development. On the other hand, the blight severity and intensity were higher in 2005 growing season. In 2005, susceptible cultivar Canitez-87 completely was killed. The disease severity was significantly different among the genotypes tested. Disease severity of the genotypes were varied between 1 and 9 severity scala. Eight of fifty genotypes exhibited disease severity of 9. On the other hand, 36 genotypes showed different level of resistance to A. rabiei. Lower disease severities were obtained in F98-228C (1.0), F94-90C (1.0), F95-51C (1.0), F97-227C (1.0), F97-227C (1.0), F97-132C (1.0), F98-229C (1.7) ve F98-230C (1.7) genotypes.
