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 />
