Abstract

In this study, 23 chickpea (Cicer aritinum L.) genotypes were evaluated in Adana and Şanlıurfa regions for their suitability to winter conditions and for their tolerance/resistance to Ascocyta blight. Disease nurseries were carried out in the research trial areas of Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute-Adana and GAP Agricultural Research Institute-Şanlıurfa. In 2014-2015 growing season, four separate disease nurseries were established for 23 chickpea genotypes using four different pathotypes. The disease scorings and observations were conducted in those nurseries. Additional to 23 chickpea genotypes; the Canitez variety, which is known to be sensitive to Anthracnose blight, were used as a control. In this study, disease scorings according to the 1-9 scale made on the 7th day, 14th day and 21st day in the nurseries tgenotip artificially inoculated with four pathotypes identified in the legume cultivation areas of Turkey, and the suitability of chickpea genotypes for regional ecologies and winter sowing conditions in Adana and Şanlıurfa locations were observed. In this trial, as a result of artificial inoculation of four pathotypes, high disease scores were found in Adana location while the low disease scores were obtained in Şanlıurfa location for the same chickpea genotypes. It is observed tgenotip, irregular distribution and intensity of rainfall had positive or negative effects on Ascochyta blight in both locations.
