Breeding for dual resistance to Ascochyta and wilt diseases in chickpea

Halila M.H., Harrabi M.M.

Chickpea yields are charactherised by wide fluctuations and lack of stability due mainly to diseases. The two major diseases in Tunisia are Ascochyta rabiei and wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum, Verticilium albo-atrum and other Fusarium species. Therefore attempts are made to combine, through breeding, resistance for both diseases, for this a 'shuttle' screening method was developed.
