Multi environment evaluation of chickpea disease nurseries (wilt, Aschochyta blight and Botrytis grey mold) to identify stable and new sources of resistance
Under the ICRISAT- ICAR collaboration, disease nurseries of wilt (ICWN), AB (IABN) and BGM (IBGMN) consisting of 30 entries (28 resistant cultivars and 2 susceptible checks) were evaluated at different locations (hot spots) ...
An Update on Genetic Resistance of Chickpea to Ascochyta Blight
Ascochyta blight (AB) caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labr. is an important and
widespread disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) worldwide. The disease is particularly severe
under cool and humid weather conditions. ...
Sustainable management of chickpea pod borer: a review
The pod borer [Helicoverpa armigera Hubner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)] is responsible for causing up to 90% damage in chickpea due to its regular occurrence from the vegetative growth to the pod formation stage. In order to ...
Chickpea lines screened for resistance to Leafminer and pod borer
High infestation by leaf miner was observed this year. Two accessions (IG 125018 and IG 125032) confirmed resistance to leaf miner with rating of 3 in the 1-9 visual damage score (VDS). Four others lines showed moderate ...
Integrated pest management of food legume insect pests in North Africa, West and Central Asia
Food legumes (chickpea, lentil, faba bean) are important crops in North Africa, West and Central Asia
(CWANA). However, their production is adversely affected by a number of insect pests such as chickpea
Leaf miner and Pod ...

Surveys conducted to know the occurrence and distribution of diseases in chickpea and pigeonpea growing regions
For chickpea disease, a survey was conducted between November and January in four major chickpea growing states in central and southern parts of India viz. Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. For pigeonpea, survey ...
Study of expression pattern of defence genes in chickpea and pathogenicity causing genes in FOC through qPCR in resistant and susceptible cultivars grown under elevated CO2
Total RNA was extracted from root tissues of wilt infected and control chickpea seedlings of susceptible cv. JG 62 and resistant cv. WR 315 grown under ambient and elevated CO2 condition. cDNA was synthesized from total ...
First report of root rot caused by Pythiumspp. on chickpea in South Africa
Chickpea is a relatively new crop in the NE South Africa. High incidences of plant death were observed in an experiment that was established in 2012 in Mziniti, South Africa to assess the agronomic performance of 66 elite ...
Dry root rot (Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler): an emerging disease of chickpea – where do we stand?
Dry root rot caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola (Macrophomina phaseolina) of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is gaining importance in the changed scenario of climate when growing crop is predisposed to high temperature and ...
