Ascochyta
blight, caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labrousse (teleomorph=Didymella
rabiei), is one of the most serious diseases of chickpea in many countries
including Turkey. In this investigation, we searched the reaction of some
chickpea varieties against to the causal agent of ascochyta blight disease of A. rabiei in natural conditions and in
different locations in the Southeastern Anatolia and revealed some data for the control of this disease. Rainfall and
humidity has created ideal conditions for development this disease in the
season of production between 2015 and 2016. In these circumstances, determined
tolerant varieties and some applications are made in farm
conditions against diseases for at least lowering the effect on the
yield of chickpea in the winter sowing. As a result, Askan and Arda varieties
were identified as the most tolerant varieties against the disease at all
locations. It was determined that if these chickpea varieties sown in autumn,
seed dressing and foliar spraying is done on time, the negative impact of
disease will be minimum on yield.
