Understanding Fungal Diseases and Their Mitigation in Lentils

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Diseases in Legume Crops

Abstract

Lentil, an important grain legume, is gaining global attention due to its nutritional attributes and minimal water requirement during growth. It is a significant contributor in alleviating micronutrient deficiencies especially in developing nations. The global demand of lentil is increasing, which can be seen as an uptrend in the lentil production during last five decades from 0.85 to 5.73 Mt. Although India is the leading producer and consumer of lentils, the productivity gap is still 30–105% with an average of 42%. Incidence of biotic stresses (especially diseases) is becoming the limiting factor in gaining the optimal productivity and accounts for major yield losses in lentil. Several fungal diseases such as rust, Stemphylium blight, Fusarium wilt, anthracnose, white mold, gray mold, mildews, root rots, etc. are among the major hurdles in obtaining the maximum output from the crop. Management of fungal diseases in crop plants relies on the use of chemical fungicides. However, development of fungicide resistance in many fungi has become an ambush toward sustainable food production. Therefore, exploring the genetic resistance mechanisms along with development of resistant varieties is the best alternative to tackle these problems. Recently, efforts have been made toward disease identification, exploring the genetics and pathway of infection along with the development of disease mitigation strategies in lentil. Wild resistance sources have been identified for several fungal diseases, and a number of varieties have been successfully released which can withstand the impact of the diseases. An understanding of the diseases in lentils, their symptoms, epidemiology, current mitigation practices, and the research progress will help in determining the future research focus which is summarized in this chapter.
