The inheritance of resistance to dry root rot of chickpea caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola was studied. Parental F 1 and F 2 populations of two resistant and two susceptible parents, along with 49 F 1 progenies of one of the resistant × susceptible crosses were rested for their reaction to dry root rot using the blotting‐paper technique. All F, plants of the resistant × susceptible crosses were resistant; the F 2 generation fitted a 3 resistant: 1 susceptible ratio indicating monogenic inheritance, with resistance dominant over susceptibility. F 3 family segregation data confirmed the results. No segregation occurred among the progeny of resistant × resistant and susceptible × susceptible crosses.
