This field study was carried out at EL- Gab Research Center during furing
2000-2001. Six fungicides namely, Benomyl 50%, Difenoconazole, Diniconazole,
Fludioxonile, Triticonazole and Thiram 37.5% + Carboxin 37.5% with high
doses×1, ×2, ×4, ×8 were
used as seed dressings on chickpea cultivar Gab3 to
study their effects on Ascochyta blight infection.
The results showed that fungicides eradicated the infection from the seeds
and protected the seedlings from infection. There was a clear effect on delaying
the infection by ascochyta blight on chickpea for about 10-15 days in
comparison with the untreated control. However, Higher doses of some
fungicides negatively affected the yield.
