Abstract
Ascochyta blight of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) caused by Ascochyta fabae Speg. f. sp. lentis Gossen et al. was recorded in lentil crops in Canterbury in 1985 and from seed lines harvested in 1986. Discoloured and sometimes shrivelled seeds resulting from pod infection were usually infected with Ascochyta. Germination was low in seed lines with a high percentage of infected seeds. Glasshouse studies demonstrated that the lentil cultivar ‘Primera’ is more resistant than ‘Invincible’ to A. fabae f. sp. lentis.Keywords
