Descrizione:
India is the largest producer of chickpea which is a rich source of highquality protein. Chickpea wilt is a major fungal disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris is a major constrain to chickpea production globally. The disease is important when the chickpeagrowing season is dry and warm. Marathwada a part of Maharashtra State is well known for semiarid crops, which are favourable for chickpea cultivation. Many times it is cultivated as a rainfed crop. The yield losses caused by the Fusarial wilt disease are around 10 15 % in Marathwada. Nowadays integrated disease management of various crop diseases has been advocated in order to avoid chemical application. An alternative approach to biological control of plant pathogens has been recommended in recent years by trends in agriculture towards greater sustainability. To avoid heavy infection of chickpea wilt, rhizospheric microorganisms like fungi, bacteria and actinomycetes and some botanicals were evaluated to control the disease Invitro as well as Invivo in this study. In the present study, the survey of chickpea wilt was done in 59 villages during the years 20052009 wilt was observed 2.00 20.00 % level.
