The occurrence and severity of Ascochyta blight of chickpea is influenced by environmental factors, which can complicate field screening. A controlled-environment plant growth room was developed at ICRISAT Asia Center to rapidly screen chickpea genotypes within 15 days for resistance to Ascochyta blight caused by Ascochyta rabiei. A positive correlation was observed between results from controlled-environment and field screenings in an area where the pathogen is endemic.
