Aims
  • To compare disease management strategies for minimum fungicide input and maximum grain yield and quality of new chickpea varieties.
  • To demonstrate the much improved levels of ascochyta blight disease resistance in new varieties of chickpeas to SA growers.
Key messages
  • Dry seasonal conditions did not favour chickpea production in 2006 and grain yields were below average
  • Ascochyta blight infection levels were only low in the trials however the ascochyta blight resistant varieties still had lower infection levels than Howzat, Almaz and Nafice
  • Susceptible and moderately resistant varieties incurred grain yield loss in nil treatments compared to fortnightly sprayed treatments at Turretfield. This did not occur in varieties rated resistant including the two new lines to be released (FLIP94-079C and CICA503)
  • Previous trials show ascochyta blight resistant varieties Genesis090 and Genesis509 can be successfully grown under high disease pressure with only the need for foliar fungicide sprays during podding
  • No information was obtained on podding strategies required to reduce grain yield loss in resistant varieties due to a lack of pod infection from the dry spring conditions. Further work is required in this area.
  • Varieties with intermediate resistance require foliar fungicides early in the season to control ascochyta blight and prevent yield loss even in dryer years.
