In Sonora wilting by Fusarium Oxysporum f. sp. Ciceris (FOC) causes losses of up to 60%, while in other parts of the world ranged from 12-15% annually. The aim of this study was to evaluate the resistance of new lines of chickpea obtained through breeding programs against FOC wilt. Approach: In order to evaluate the resistance of new chickpea lines: Hoga-012, Hoga-490-2 and Hoga-508, including the two most important commercial cultivars in Mexico: Blanco Sinaloa-92 and Costa-2004 and as control two cultivars: JG-62 (susceptible) and WR-315 (resistant), a pathogen city test was performed with races 0 and 5 of FOC. Plants were evaluated based on leaf and root damage during 50 days, using a hedonic scale of five levels (0-4). Results: New chickpea lines as well as commercial cultivars were susceptible to races 0, 5 of FOC. Changes (P}, journal = {American Journal of Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
