Abstract

---

Out of 56 chickpea varieties screened for their resistance against Macrophomina phaseolina, only one variety (BGD -98) was found resistant. Three varieties viz., BG-1108, BGD-117 and RSG-143 were moderately resistant and six varieties viz., BG-390, BG-1095, Biogreen, GPF-2, ICCV-92337 and SBD-77 were tolerant. Rest of the varieties were either susceptible or highly susceptible to M. phaseolina. A positive correlation was found between peroxidase activity and resistance to the varieties.
