To compare the economic outcome of managing Ascochyta blight in chickpea with using a preventive and reactive fungicide management regime.
The very dry seasonal conditions were not conducive to the development of Ascochyta in Chickpea. Therefore, tactical fungicides were not applied. There was no significant difference between varieties for grain yield, with a low mean yield of 0.43 t/ha.

| Acknowledgments |
The research undertaken as part of the GRDC-invested SA Grain Legume Validation project (UOA2105- 013RTX) is made possible by the significant contributions of growers through both trial cooperation and the support of the GRDC, and the authors would like to thank them for their continued support. The continued support from industry and breeding organisations for the provision of chemical products and pulse varieties for use in field trials is also gratefully acknowledged and appreciated. |
