Abstract
Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri is a devastating disease of chickpea in Pakistan. In the present study one hundred and fifty eight genotypes of recent origin were evaluated under artificial disease condition to identify genetic sources of resistance against this disease. The experiment was planted in an augmented design with single replication. Disease observations were recorded at seedling and reproductive stages. There was a considerable variation between genotypes with respect to their disease reaction at both stages of evaluation. At seedling stage the disease incidence ranged from 0% to 57.2% and at reproductive stage it varied from 0% to 100%. At seedling stage
