Chickpea is the third most important food grain legume, sown as winter crop in most parts of the<br />

world but with varied temperature and other climatic conditions. Hence, experiences t<strong>here</strong> major<br />

constraints in cultivation, Ascochyta blight (AB) (Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab.) in cool wet geo–<br />

agricultural zones, Fusarium wilt (FW) (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris Synd. & Hans.) and dry root<br />

rot (DRR) (Rhizoctonia bataticola (Butler) Taub) in warm dry conditions. Host resistance is the<br />

most economical solution for sustainable grain yield, but cultivars soon age to disease resistance,<br />

inviting a need for novel genotypes with high level resistance suitably with stable multiple disease<br />

resistance with consistent pattern over the years to overcome the impact of climate change in<br />

resistance break down. Sixty genotypes were screened consecutively for five years from 2007-08<br />

to 2011-12 against FW and DRR by sick-plot technique and AB using controlled atmosp<strong>here</strong><br />

field screening technique. Disease reactions were recorded on 1-9 rating scale for AB and<br />

percentage of plants killed for FW and DRR. Resistance was defined as reaction types of ≥3 for<br />

AB and ≥5% plant killed for FW and DRR. The genotypes viz. GL 26115, GL827085, GL27111,<br />

GL27133, GL27163, GL28211, GL28149, GL28286, GL28295, GL28297, GL29328,<br />

GLK24096, GG1362, GG1390, GG1403, FLIP02-276, FLIP03-114, ICCV98815 with consistent<br />

disease response can be used as donors in chickpea improvement programme or directly as<br />

cultivars. The total chlorophyll content of the 60 genotypes has been correlated with these<br />

diseases and tried to work out the significant relation if any.<br />
