Abstract

The work was carried out in the Al-Ghab Agricultural Scientific Research center and Tel-Hadya station, which is related to the Agricultural Scientific Research Centre of Aleppo, during the 2017-2018, and 2018-2019 cropping seasons. It aimed to an evaluation of eight promising chickpea genotypes (G7-08, G5-08, FLIP -02-84, FLIP-03-118, FLIP-03-142, FLIP-05-44, G11-08, and FLIP95-67) comparing with three released varieties (Ghab³, Ghab^4, and Ghab⁵) as well as to evaluation of its against Ascochyta Blight Disease under the field conditions. Field results showed that the genotype G5-08 was better than of released varieties in all studied parameters (morphological and production) as well as it was more tolerance against Aschochyta blight, Therefore, this promising genotype would be recommended to be registered as a chickpea variety in both Aleppo and Al-Ghab region for winter cultivation.

Keywords: Genotype, varieties, Yield, Disease, Aschochyta blight
