Field Evaluation of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Germplasm for Resistance to Dry Root Rot Caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola
Dry root rot caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler is an emerging soil-borne disease that poses a serious threat to chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) production, particularly under high temperature and moisture-stress conditions. Identification of resistant sources remains one of the most effective and sustainabl...
