Fifty varieties of chickpea were screened against M. phaseolina and peroxidase activity of both control and inoculated plants were determined for its correlation with resistant response. Out of the 50 varieties, RSG-143 was found to be resistant. Two varieties RSG-896 and RSG-973 were found to be moderately resistant. The varieties Pusa-391, Pusa-362, Pusa-267, RSG-888 and RSG-963 were found to be susceptible and the varieties Pusa-256, Pusa-372 and Pusa-1003 were rated as highly susceptible to M. phaseolina. A positive correlation was found between peroxidase activity and resistance response of the varieties.
