Abstract
A disease-rating data set collected for ascochyta blight (Ascochyta ra biei [Pass.] Labr.) on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in different envi ronments and with different isolates of the pathogen showed that resis tance against the disease is quantitative, with a significant vertical component. Lower mean environmental disease ratings will enhance effe ctive selection for resistance. It is proposed that gene pyramiding, u sing diverse germplasm and pathogenic isolates be used to combat the d isease.
