Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris is one of the major disease causes upto 90% losses depending on weather conditions. Eighty five germplasm/genotypes of chickpea were screened at wilt sick plot existing at RARS, Nandyal for two rabi seasons i.e., 2014-15 and 2015-16. Based on the results obtained in two years, 13 entries representing 7 resistant (ICC-294, ICC-6279, ICC-14669, NBeG-3, NBeG-47, NBeG-119 and NBeG-49) and 6 moderately resistant (ICC-1398, NBeG-119, ICC-67, NBeG-458, NBeG-47 and NBeG-452) varieties/ germplasm were selected for green house screening for three virulent F. oxysporum f.sp. ciceris isolates such as Foc-6, Foc-12 and Foc-17 for confirmation of field screening results. Under artificial screening five entries such as NBeG-3, ICC-14669, NBeG-49, ICC-6279 and ICC-294 were recorded 0% incidence for all the three virulent F. oxysporum f.sp. ciceris isolates.
