Degree of resistance to Ascochyta blight . Causative agent: Ascochyta lentis (Didymella lentis). The pathogen infects leaves, stems, petioles, pods and seeds. On leaves, young lesions with small necrotic spots of 3-5mm diameter can be found. Reddish brown to black pycnidia from in the middle of the mature lesions. In severe infections, lesions gridle the stem, kill the epidermal and cortical cells and lead to stem breakage. Pods can also be infected and results seed infection. Heavily infected seeds look shrivelled and discoloured with a whitish mycelium and pycnidia.

Fusarium wilt resistance
Degree of resistance to Fusarium wilt disease.Causative organism: Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis. Typical symptoms of wilt are first seen as sudden drooping of leaflets starting at the plant top and progressing downward. Leaflets close and do not shed prematurely, turning dull green . Finally the whole plant wilts . Wilting may be unilateral and confined to individual branches. When wilt appears at flowering no seeds are produced.
