Ascochyta blight, caused by the fungus Ascochyta rabiei, is a serious yield-limiting disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in the Palouse region of northern Idaho and eastern Washington. To supplement the development of blight-resistant chickpea lines for release in the region, the virulence of local A. rabiei isolates was investigated. Thirty-nine isolates of A. rabiei were collected from infected chickpea seeds, plants, and residues from different Palouse locations. Each isolate was inoculated onto seedlings of 15 differential chickpea lines in the greenhouse
