Abstract

In the present study, 89 chickpea germplasm lines were screened against the highly destructive stem rot disease. None of the germplasm lines showed complete immunity or resistance. Twenty-two germplasm lines (C-20197, C-20193, C-20219, C-20196, C-20168, C-20217, C-20207, C-20163, C-20214, C-20215, C-20183, C-20191, C-20117, C-20121, NDG 19-1, PUSA-372, IPC 2006-77, GNG-2207, GNG-2144, RVG-202, RVG-203, IG-14) were identified as moderately resistant. Fifty-one germplasm lines were found moderately susceptible, thirteen were susceptible, and three germplasm lines were highly susceptible.
