First report of Chickpea chlorotic dwarf virus naturally infecting chickpea in Tunisia
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is one of three important legume species grown in Tunisia. Five viral species are known to infect chickpea in Tunisia: Bean leaf roll virus, Beet mosaic virus, Beet western yellows virus, Chickpea ...
Control of Heterodera Ciceri by Crop rotation
A field experiment in Syria in 1986-1991 tested the efficacy of six four-year crop rotations for the control of Heterodera ciceri on chickpea and grasspea. Crop sequences included cultivation of non-host crops (barley and ...
Patterns of Resistance and Susceptibility to Races of Ascochyta rabiei Among Germ Plasm Accessions and Breeding Lines of Chickpea
To identify sources of resistance to the six races of Ascochyta rabiei reported from Lebanon and Syria, 1,069 germ plasm accessions and breeding lines were screened against the races in the greenhouse at Tel Hadya, Syria, ...
Evaluation of a World Collection of Chickpea Germ Plasm Accessions for Resistance to Ascochyta Blight
A world collection of 9,574 desi and 3,836 kabuli germ plasm accessions of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) was evaluated for Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei) resistance at the International Center for Agricultural Research ...
Chickpea Evaluation for Cold Tolerance under Field Conditions
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) yields are higher when plantings are made in early winter in the Mediterranean region instead of during the traditional spring season, but winter killing is often a problem. Cold tolerant ...
Productivity and nitrogen use of three different wheat-based rotations in North West Syria
Productivity of 3 different 2-year crop rotations, namely continuous wheat, wheat-chickpea, and wheat-fallow, was measured over 4 consecutive seasons beginning in 1991-92 at the ICARDA station, Tel Hadya, Syria. Nitrogen ...
Survey for legume and cereal viruses in Libya
A field survey was conducted during March and April 2010, to identify viral diseases affecting cereal and legume crops in different regions of Libya. A total of 3706 barley and wheat samples were collected randomly in ...
Genetics of Resistance to Ascochyta Blight in Four Chickpea Lines
Inheritance of resistance to race 3 of Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab.), an important disease in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), was studied in four resistant lines at ICARDA in Syria from 1983 to 1986. The ...
Effectiveness of soil solarization for control of Heterodera ciceri and Pratylenchus thornei on chickpea in Syria
A field experiment was conducted during summer 1989 to investigate the effect of soil solarization on the control of Heterodera ciceri and Pratylenchus thornei and yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in Syria. The soil ...
Phytosanitary management of ICARDA’s germplasm seed collections for safe movement and better future use
Germplasm exchange from international genebanks and breeding programs is vital for successful crop improvement programs. More than 10,000 different accessions of wheat, barley, lentil, faba bean, chickpea, grasspea, and ...
