Abstract

---

Of the 269 chickpea breeding lines evaluated against gram blight caused by Ascochyta rabiei under glass house conditions, only 7 lines viz., F16-90C, NCS950088, NCS950038, CMC228S, SEL96TH 11488, FLIP96-75C and 86135 were found resistant while 46 lines were tolerant to Ascochyta blight. This study provides some additional source of resistant materials against Ascochyta blight which can be used in hybridization program for the development of chickpea resistant cultivars for commercial cultivation in Pakistan.
