Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Chickpea genotypes differed significantly in Ascochyta blight response and grain yield at both sites.
- Association Ascochyta blight was more severe at Egerton-Njoro than at ATC-Koibatek (mean score 5.7 against 4.25).
- Observation Chickpea genotypes ICC7052, ICC4463 and ICC4363 had the highest grain yield, in the range 1790-1053 Kg ha-1, with best resistance to blight.
- Observation Chickpea genotypes ICC2884, ICC7150 and ICC15294 had the highest grain yield, in the range 1790-1053 Kg ha-1, with best resistance to blight.
- Observation Chickpea genotype ICC11627 had the highest grain yield, in the range 1790-1053 Kg ha-1, with best resistance to blight.
- Observation Commercial chickpea varieties were all susceptible to Ascochyta blight.
- Observation Commercial chickpea varieties yielded above 1200 Kg ha-1 grain.
- Recommendation Chickpea should be sown during the short rains (summer) in the dry highlands of Kenya, when conditions are less favorable for blight infection.
- Intervention effect Yield could be increased by shifting the sowing date from dry season to long rains, if blight-resistant cultivars with acceptable agronomic traits are identified.
