| Abstract: | Of the 390 Kabuli chickpea genotypes evaluated from 2005 to 2010 against Ascochyta blight (AB), Fusarium wilt (FW) and Dry root rot (DRR) resistance using standard screening techniques, 48 were found to be resistant to FW and DRR. Of these, four genotypes viz GLK95091, GLK95061, GLK24092 and GLK24096 showed resistance to AB with disease score less than 4.0 while another four genotypes GLK22072, GLK22098 and GLK24099 displayed AB disease score 5.0. GLK 22117 with FW percentage 6.3 and DRR 3.5 tested for seven years displayed good performance at other locations in India as well. Extra bold seeded genotypes GLK 26171, GLK26177 and GLK23001have shown good level of resistance to AB, FW and DRR and can be suggested as donors in crossing programme. It was observed that level of FW resistance was comparatively low in large-seeded and extra-large-seeded kabuli than small seeded kabuli. |
