Effect of soil moisture regimes and soil types on incidence of Rhizoctonia bataticola causing dry root rot of chickpea

Abstract

Effect of different soil moisture regimes and soil types on incidence of Rhizoctoniabataticola causing dry root of chickpea (Cicerarietinum L.). crop were studied during 2018-19 at VNMKV, Parbhani. In present studiesdry root rot disease incidence was higher (range: 80.00 to 74.45 per cent) at the soil moisture level of 55 to 60 per cent. Whereas it was noticed that sandy soil showed highest dry root rot disease incidence followed by sandy loam soil and than the other soil types.
