Abstract

In order to identify the source of genetic resistance to Botrytis grey mould (BGM), thirty genotypes ofchickpea were screened under field condition during 2009–10 and 2010–2011. None of the genotypes was found to be immune and highly resistant. However, 15 genotypes namely ‘ICCV 05502 ’, ‘ICCV 05506 ’, ‘ICCV 05509 ’, ‘ICCV 05522 ’, ‘ICCV 05528 ’, ‘ICCV 05529 ’, ‘ICCV 05553 ’, ‘EC 516891 ’, ‘EC 516696 ’, ‘EC 516720 ’, ‘EC 516806 ’, ‘EC 516670 ’, ‘EC 516878 ’, ‘ICC 4954 ’ and ‘ICC 4951 ’ were found resistant to BGM. These genotypes can be used in breeding programmes to develop varieties resistant to BGM.
