Abstract
The food requirement of increasing population is a constant pressure for developing countries to full fill the requirement. The pulses are prime sources of protein requirements and pigeon pea is one of the most important grain legume crops of developing countries for sustainable development. Pigeon pea wilt caused by Fusarium udum is a serious threat in the production which may cause considerable yield losses under congenial conditions. Saxena et al. (2010) reported that Fusarium wilt disease in pigeon pea is so devastating that it can cause production loss up to 97000 tonnes per year in India alone. Several investigators have reported that, Fusarium udum as a sole factor for the loss in the crop. In view of these, the present investigations were carried out to find out the prevalence of the disease across pigeon pea growing districts of Karnataka.
