Discussion<br />

Y.L.Nene<br />

I wish to draw attention to a slide shown by Dr. Singh in which he showed ICC<br />

-5127 to be resistant to the blight and grey mold. ICC -5127 is actually F8.<br />

Does it mean F8 is still resistant in Pakistan?<br />

K.B.Singh<br />

It seems that F8 still retains resistance to ascochyta blight at least in Pakistan.<br />

In addition, it was noted that it possesses tolerance to botrytis grey mold.<br />

B.A.Malik<br />

F8 was grownin Pakistan in early fifties, but later on it lost its resistance and<br />

was replaced by a variety 12/34. Since ICC 5127 is F8 and has shown<br />

resistance during 1980-81, it may indicate that the inoculum of the race which<br />

had knocked it down in early fifties has now vanished.<br />
