What is your feeling about the frequency of occurrence of ascochyta blight in<br />

Punjab (India)? Is the disease increasing there?<br />

T.S. Sindhu<br />

There was a severe epidemic of blight during 1967-68, but after that it has not<br />

been observed.<br />

K.B. Singh<br />

During 1967-68 the blight occurred in Punjab in a form that the farmers did<br />

not even harvest the crop. But in the subsequent years this disease was not even<br />

seen. So I feel that epidemio!ogy is not fully understood and more needs to be<br />

known.<br />

Y.L. Nene<br />

I would like to say that there is no increase in the frequency of ascochyta blight<br />

epidemic in India. The disease is endemic in Gurdaspur, and depending upon<br />

weather conditions, it reaches epidemic proportions in certain years.
