Trangie 2023 Chickpea Disease Management locations

Aims

To evaluate different fungicide management strategies for two chickpea varieties with contrasting resistance to ascochyta blight—PBA Drummond (Very Susceptible) and CBA Captain (Moderately Susceptible)—by comparing untreated, complete, budget, and reactive fungicide programs, with tailored approaches based on varietal susceptibility.

Key messages

Due to extremely low and inconsequential level of ascochyta blight, only the Nil and Complete fungicide treatments are reported here.
CBA Captain yielded 0.49 t/ha more than PBA Drummond.
Despite very low rainfall, grain yield of CBA Captain averaged a respectable 1.79 t/ha, with much of the yield due to accessing deep stored soil water following a very wet 2022
