Abstract:
One of the most important disease of pea is Ascochyta blight. Since the disease is complex and caused by more than one pathogen Viz. Ascochyta pisi, Ascochyta pinodes and Ascochyta pinodella. However, under Kashmir conditions there is more prevalence of Ascochyta pisi thus the genotypes were elevated for this particular specie and its was found that none of the genotypes were resistant or moderately resistance due to lack of diversity in resistant genes. The majority of genotypes, including most cultivated cultivar Rachna were found Susceptible to the incident of Ascochyta blight and 40 genotypes were found susceptible while, thirteen genotypes were moderately susceptible and ten genotypes were highly susceptible The highest disease intensity was recorded in genotype SHM – 59 (53.99%) and lowest was in KDP – 47 (13.23%).
