Abstract
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most popular vegetables in many regions of the world and commonly known as gram. The pod borers, Helicoverpa armigera, sap-sucking pests (especially Aphis craccivora) and nematodes cause damage to chickpea. Resistant cultivars, intercropping, trap crop, border cropping were used for management of pests. The major diseases affecting chickpea are Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and Rhizoctonia solani. R. solani is an important component of the disease complex that causes seedling blight and root rot on pea. Resistant cultivars, tillage practices, crop rotation, inter cropping and soil solarization are effective measures for control of diseases in chickpea.
