Five non-systemic fungicides: chlorothalonil, carbendazim (12%) + mancozeb (63%), captan 50WP, dodine 65WP and copper oxychloride 50WP four systemic fungicides viz., difenoconozole 25EC, hexaconozole 5EC mycobutanil 10WP were evaluated against Aschochyta blight of chickpea caused by Ascochyta rabiei. The in-vitro evaluation through poisoned food technique at five different concentrations: 50,10...

The antimicrobial activity and the MIC values of the ethanol, chloroform, diethyl ether, and acetone extracts of the chemical races of Pseudevernia furfuracea (var. furfuracea and var. ceratea) and their physodic acid, chloroatranorin, atranorin, and olivetoric acid constituents have been investigated against some microorganisms. Nearly all extracts of both chemical races showed antimicrobial a...

ABSTRACT Historically, the response of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) to Didymella rabiei (causal agent of Ascochyta blight) has been mainly related to as complete resistance and it was commonly assayed with qualitative (nonparametric) scales. Two reciprocal populations, derived from intra-specific crosses between a moderately resistant late flowering Israeli cultivar and a highly susceptible ea...

Chickpea production is constrained worldwide by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Ascochyta rabiei, causal agent of blight (AB). To reduce impact this disease, novel sources resistance are required in chickpea cultivars. Here, we screened a new collection wild Cicer accessions for AB and identified resistant to multiple, highly pathogenic isolates. In addition this, analyses demonstrated that so...

Didymella pinodes is the principal causal agent of ascochyta blight, one of the most important fungal diseases of pea (Pisum sativum) worldwide. Understanding its host specificity has crucial implications in epidemiology and management; however, this has not been clearly delineated yet. In this study we attempt to clarify the host range of D. pinodes and to compare it with that of other close D...
