Discussion<br />
G.C. Hawtin<br />
In view of the high and frequent incidence of aschochyta blight in Pakistan, it<br />
might well be expected that resistance could be present in local landraces. To<br />
what extent have these been collected, especially from NWFP and other<br />
endemic areas, and tested for resistance?<br />
M. Aslam<br />
I agree with Dr. Hawtin that there is a need for a thorough survey of chickpea<br />
crop in Punjab and NWFP to select resistant genotypes under natural conditions<br />
and ICARDA or ICRISAT could very well help in carrying out such<br />
surveys.<br />
Y.L. Nene<br />
Dr. Malik mentioned that in Pakistan infected plants are fed to cattle. I may<br />
mention that according to a report from Pakistan the spores which pass<br />
through the animal lose their viability.<br />
