Ascochyta blight is the most important biotic stress factor in Turkey. Several methods of controlling this disease such as application of fungicides, adjusting sowing time, together with ascochyta blight resistant varieties have been suggested. Considering the resistant cultivars is the most effective way controlling the disease. Up to date, some resistant and tolerant cultivars have been registired besides the susceptible cultivars as a result of breeding studies. Transfering research findings is an important as gathering these results. On farm-trials (OFTs) and demonstrations were conducted in Aegean, and South Eastern Anatolia to transfer these varieties to farmers. The small seeded ascochyta blight varieties although performed well under ascochyta blight epiphytotic conditions, were not accepted by farmers since they prefer large-seeded types. However newly registered varieties with an acceptable seed size, are expected to be utilised in chickpea growing areas. The results of OFTs conducted in Aegean region confirm this
