Lower mean environmental disease ratings will enhance effective selection for resistance. It is proposed that gene pyramiding, using diverse germplasm and pathogenic isolates be used to combat the disease. publisher: Taylor & Francis date: 1994 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/3258/1/JA_1593.pdf identifier: Rheenen, H A van and Haware, M P (1994) Mode of inheritance of resistance to ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei [Pass.] Labr.) in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and its consequences for resistance breeding.
