Abstract

Fusarium wilt (FW) is the most severe soil-borne disease of chickpea that causes yield losses up to 100%. To improve FW resistance in JG 11, a high-yielding variety that became susceptible to FW, we used WR 315 as the donor parent and followed the pedigree breeding method. Based on disease resistance and yield performance, four lines were evaluated in station trials during 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 at Kalaburagi, India. Further, two lines, namely, Kalaburagi chickpea desi 5 (KCD 5) and KCD 11, which possesses the resistance allele for a specific single-nucleotide polymorphism marker linked with FW resistance, were evaluated across six different locations (Bidar, Kalaburagi, Raichur, Siruguppa, Bhimarayanagudi and Hagari) over a span of 3 years (2020–2021, 2021–2022 and 2022–2023). KCD 11 exhibited notable performance, showcasing yield advantages of 8.67%, 11.26% and 23.88% over JG 11, and the regional checks Super Annigeri 1 (SA 1) and Annigeri 1, respectively, with enhanced FW resistance in wilt sick plot. Further, KCD 11 outperformed JG 11, SA 1 and Annigeri 1 in multi-location trials conducted across three seasons in the North Eastern Transition Zone, North Eastern Dry Zone, and North Dry Zones of Karnataka. KCD 11 was also tested in trials conducted by All India Coordinated Research Project on chickpea and was also nominated for state varietal trials for its release as a FW-resistant and high-yielding variety. The selected line is anticipated to cater the needs of chickpea growers with the dual advantage of yield increment and disease resistance. Plain Language Summary To combat Fusarium wilt (FW) in chickpea, WR 315 was used in breeding to enhance resistance in JG 11. Four newly developed lines were evaluated in Kalaburagi during 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 for disease resistance and yield. Kalaburagi chickpea desi 5 (KCD 5) and KCD 11, possessing resistance alleles for a specific single-nucleotide polymorphism marker, were tested across six locations over 3 years (2020–2023). KCD 11 showed significant yield advantages (8.67%, 11.26% and 23.88% over JG 11, SA 1, and Annigeri 1) with enhanced FW resistance. Multi-location trials in various zones of Karnataka further confirmed KCD 11′s superiority. It also underwent national trials and state varietal tests, poised for release as a high-yielding, FW resistant variety, which will offer promising benefits for chickpea growers.
