Selection of resistant lines is the major approach followed for its control at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (Icarda), however there are races believed to bu multiple races of the pathogen (Vir and Grewal,1974). This study reports on existing pathogenic variability in A. rabiei in Syria and Labanon. Fifty Chickpea samples affected by blight were collected from Sryia and the Beqa'a Valley of Lebanon during the 1981-82 season from winter and spring sown crops. Sampling sites included farmers' fields, experiment stations and Icarda's off-station and on farm trials sites.
