Distributon of root rot diseases
Vigna species
Three major root diseases• Collar rot• Fusarium wilt• Dry root rot
Widespread (26 Countries)Losses up to 90%
Temporal and Spatial Succession of root rots in South Asia

ICARDA Research Platforms
Development of resistance gene pool
• Sick plots– Syria– Lebanon– Ethiopia– Sudan– India
• Two season selections• International Fusarium
wilt nurseries• Hot spot screening for
collar rot (Bangladesh) and dry root rot (India)

FIGs Set200 accessions in chickpea and lentil
Successes• Wilt resistant chickpea varieties
• Wilt resistant lentil cultivars
• Black root rot resistant faba bean
Challenges• Collar rot in relay/CA practices in
rice based systems
• Dry root rot in chickpea and lentil
• Foot rot on faba bean

Combining resistance in new plant type

Conclusions & Future Directions
• Diversified sources for resistance to wilt are available
• Limited or no resistance to collar and dry root rots
• Wilt resistance in improved lines incorporated
• Wilt resistance in red lentil and desi chickpea is morefrequent than in green lentil and kabuli chickpea
• Pathogenic variability and gene specific internationaldifferential sets
• Pyramiding of resistance genes for various racecombinations
