Since chickpea (Cicer arietinum) root rot caused by Neocosmospora vasinfecta is widespread in Khushab, Jhang and Layyah, three regions of the Pujab province (Ali et al., 2011), a study was conducted to assess the virulence and genetic diversity of a number of fungal isolates which, upon isolation on chickpea seed meal agar, yielded white cottony colonies within 7-10 days at 25°C. Virulence assays of seven such isolates were carried out in pots in a glasshouse and a growthroom using the susceptible genotypes JG62 and Aug424, as described by Sharma et al. (2005) and Infantino et al. (2006), All tested isolates were virulent on both genotypes with variable reaction from least to highly aggressive. Four out of five isolates from Khushab and the only isolate from Layyah were aggressive. For genetic diversity analysis, eight RAPD and nine URP markers (Kang et al., 2002) were used. Analysis showed that the seven N. vasinfecta isolates fall into three distinct clades, with URP markers allowing a better definition of genetic variability than RAPD. Virulence and genetic diversity tests proved that the seven isolates fall into three distinct groups. Cluster analysis was performed based on the un-weighted pair group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) using the Genstat software (10th Edition). No overlap between genetic and virulence groups was detected, nor a correlation was found between these two variables and the geographical origin of the isolates. This preliminary study will form the basis for a comprehensive future work on more isolates and may lead to identify N. vasinfecta-resistant genotypes, potentially forming part of an efficient strategy to manage chickpea root rot.

Identification of Resistant Genotypes and Integrated Management of Dry Root Rot of ChickpeaBackground: Dry root rot is an economically important soil borne disease of chickpea in India. The pathogen, Rhizoctonia bataticola, is a soil borne fungus resulting in significant losses in yield. Therefore, the present investigation was aimed to identify the management strategy of disease through identification new sources of resistance and integrated management of disease. Methods: R. bataticola was isolated and purified by using hyphal tip technique and molecular detection was done by using ITS primers. One hundred chickpea germplasm entries were screened under in both field and advanced phenotyping in glass house. The field trials on integrated management of the disease were conducted with different treatments using randomized block design. Result: Fourteen resistant and five moderately resistant genotypes were identified under artificial epiphytotic conditions. Advanced screening of these 19 genotypes under phenotyping technique yielded four resistant and five moderately resistant genotypes. Among nine treatments, seed treatment with mancozeb 50% + carbendazim 25% W P @ 3.5 g/kg followed by soil drenching of mancozeb 50% + carbendazim 25% WP @ 3 g/l water to infected and surrounding plants was found highly effective by recording least disease incidence with highest seed yield, test weight and benefit cost ratio.
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) is one of the important grain legume crops in Africa particularly in Ethiopia which widely grown in marginal soils and usually as rotational crops in highland and semi-highland regions of the country and also as a source of cash to the farmers and foreign currency in Ethiopia. However, its production is totally affected by many pest and diseases. Among biotic stresses, wilt or root rot diseases are considered as the major problems in chickpea production. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the assessment of chickpea wilts disease intensity, their isolates identification and evaluation of chickpea genotypes resistance against identified wilt causing pathogens in West Shewa, Ethiopia. Field survey was carried out in purposively selected Kebeles of Ambo and Dendi districts of West Shewa, Ethiopia. Both the laboratory and glasshouse experiments were conducted in Ambo Plant Protection Center, Ambo. The results of the study revealed that, among 70 chickpea fields surveyed in both districts, the overall mean prevalence and incidence of the disease were 92.9%, and 35.09%, respectively. The higher prevalence and incidence of the disease was recorded in Ambo district with 40.96% and 93.5%, respectively while, in Dendi district it was 29.10% and 92.3%, respectively. Isolates identification and Pathogenicity test revealed that three fungal pathogens, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani and Rhizoctonia bataticola were identified as wilt/root rot causing pathogens. The percentage frequency of occurrence of Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani and Rhizoctonia bataticola regardless of the districts were 50.7%, 26.76% and 14.08%, respectively. Among seven chickpea genotypes, host resistance were evaluated against the identified wilt /root rot causing fungal pathogens, the cultivar, Arerti was the only resistant to all identified wilt causing pathogenic isolates. The cultivars, Arerti and Shasho were resistant and Habru was moderately resistant reaction to Fusarium oxysporum. But local and Dz-10-4 cultivars were found to be highly susceptible. The cultivars, Arerti, Acos dube and Dz-10-4 were found to be resistant and Shasho and Chefe were moderately resistant to Rhizoctonia bataticola. Except Arerti cultivar, all inoculated genotypes were susceptible to Fusarium solani isolate. Only local cultivars were highly susceptible to all identified pathogenic isolates. The remaining cultivars were susceptible to tested pathogenic isolates with varying degrees. Therefore, from the artificial inoculation test, resistance of chickpea genotypes to specific isolates could be further deployed for sustainable wilt or root rots management. Germplasm characterization and evaluation can provide useful information to plant breeders, agronomist and other scientists that is essential for better utilization of crop genetic resources. Further, the effective and feasible integrated management options need to be developed on chickpea wilt /root rot diseases in the country. Key words: Chickpea Wilt or Root rots Pathogens, Disease Intensity, isolation, Genotypes, host resistance.

The present work was designed to identify the cultural and pathogenic variability of the two chickpea rot-causing necrotrophic soil-borne pathogens i.e. Sclerotium rolfsii and Macrophomina phaseolina cause significant damage to chickpea cultivation.The potentiality of the isolates for infection was recognized with artificial inoculation test using susceptible genotypes. Disease index values of S. rolfsii and M. phaseolina were 24.9–68.8% and 20.0–64.0%, respectively. Among twelve isolates of S. rolfsii, BAUSr4 and Ag2 produced the highest infection on genotype L550 (cd: 10.79). Likewise, isolate DarkMP4J followed by DarkMP1J and Jute1, among twenty–one isolates of M. phaseolina, rendered maximum infection on genotype K850 (cd: 5.15). No relationship was established among the cultural characters and pathogenicity of the isolates. Isolates differed in aggressiveness across different locations and hosts.
