Chickpea breeding and germplasm lines identified as resistant or moderately resistant to Ascochyta blight (A. rabiei) in field screening at Hisar, Haryana, India, were evaluated for Ascochyta blight resistance at 8 locations in the Indian subcontinent (7 in India, and 1 in Pakistan) between 1990 and 1993. In each location some lines were resistant or moderately resistant. Five breeding lines, ICCX-800859-BPN-BPN-BPN-(-)-3BPN-HWR-BH, ICCX-810800-3H-BW-BH-1H-1H-BH, ICCX-810737-BPN-BPN-BPN-3PN-BH, ICCX-810974-BH-BW-56H-1H-1H-1HWR-BH and ICCL 86447, were resistant or moderately resistant at 5 or 6 of the 8 locations. These lines were moderately resistant or susceptible to Ascochyta blight when tested in a plant growth room at ICRISAT.
