Host range studies with an Australian isolate of Ascochyta rabiei
Australasian Plant Pathology 28 (2), 170-173
Abstract: In glasshouse tests, 20 plant species were inoculated with an isolate of Ascochyta rabiei (DAR 71767) obtained from chickpea in South Australia, and maintained under humid conditions for 72 h at 20 5°C. The isolate was pathogenic t o chickpea and four common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cultivars (Brown-boy, CH-190-7D, Cran-34 and Rain-bird). None of the other plant species was infected by the pathogen. The pathogen was re-isolated from the affected common bean cultivars and pathogenicity to chickpea was confirmed.
