Abstract

Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris) is a major constraint to production of kabuli chickpeas (Cicer arietinum) in the Mediterranean basin. To identify sources of resistance to Fusarium wilt for use in a breeding program, 1,904 lines, including 713 lines tolerant to Ascochyta (Ascochyta rabiei) blight and cold bred at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) and 991 germ plasm lines, were screened in a field plot heavily infested with F. o. ciceris at Santaella, Cordoba, Spain, in 1987 and 1989
