Abstract
Botrytis grey mould (BGM) disease of chickpea
(Botrytis cinerea Pers. Fr.) is becoming major
production constraint in several chickpea growing
areas of the world. The disease caused heavy yield
losses in Indo-Gangetic plains during 1979-82 and
in Hisar along with parts of Punjab during 1981
(Grewal et al., 1992). Seed borne infection is
important means of transmitting disease (Cother,
1977) and results in seedling rot (Burgess et al.,
1997). Cultivated varieties of chickpea possess no
resistance to BGM, therefore growers have to rely
on fungicides for disease management. Use of
biological agents is also rapidly emerging as an
effective alternative for control of the disease The
present paper deals with effect of bio-agents and
chemicals as seed dressers to manage BGM disease...
