Abstract

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the most important pulse crop grown all over India. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri cause chickpea wilt is one of the major diseases on Chickpea in Vidharbha region, which is soil and seed borne. Heavy inoculum in soil and favorable environment condition results in the death of infected plant and therefore total yield loss. In this study, two antagonists, two fungicides and two botanical extract were studied against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri causing Chickpea wilt. Field studies found that Carbendazim seed treatment (@ 2g/ kg seed) gave minimum wilt incidence (26.38%) and maximum yield (13.47 qt/ha) followed by T. viride + Carbendanzim, T. viride + Thiram and Trichoderma viride alone. Bio-agents Bacillus subtilis and aqueous plant extracts of Azadirachta indica and Lantana camara seed treatments were also significant in reducing wilt incidence and more yield as compared to control.
