Subject Chickpea
 
Description Ascochyta blight (AB) caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labr. is an important and
widespread disease of chickpea worldwide. The disease is particularly severe under
cool and humid weather conditions. A large volume of literature is available on studies
related to various aspects of AB including biology, epidemiology and management
methods. In this bulletin, attempts have been made to briefl y describe the distribution,
economic importance, symptoms, causal organism, pathogen variability and host plant
resistance. Information on recent advances in host plant resistance of AB and detailed
descriptions of refi ned screening techniques developed at ICRISAT and elsewhere for
identifi cation of resistant sources are provided. This bulletin provides comprehensive
information on screening methods for AB, and will be useful to all researchers involved
in Ascochyta blight management through host plant resistance.
