Abstract
Chickpea is one of the most vulnerable crop to attack of pests and diseases causing huge production losses. Among the diseases, chickpea wilt poses a severe problem in rainfed areas of Jammu region. It was observed that chickpea seeds treated with Trichoderma viride (soil application) recorded 21.50% wilt incidence followed by Trichoderma viride (seed application) 35.25%, neem seed cake 47.00%, Carbendazim 48.90%, Thiram 50.14% and Captan 56.50%. While Trichoderma viride (soil application) gave 78.50% (highest) wilt disease control, followed by Trichoderma viride (seed application) 64.75%, neem seed cake 53.00%, Carbendazim 51.10%, Thiram 49.86%, Captan 43.50% and least in check. Recommendations of the results were repeated in the 4 farmers field in Reasi district, disease incidence were 25.40% but after applying of Trichoderma viride (soil application) diseases incidence reduced to 7.95% only and it was reduced to 6.75% (Table 2). While yield of chick pea was enhanced from 5.25 to 9.20 q/ha and maximum 9.80 q/ha against least farmers’ practices i.e. 5.25% only.
Highlights
Background and JustificationsChickpea is a major and cheap source of protein, accounting for about 45% of total pulses produced in the country
The results obtained on the fungitoxicity of fungicides against F. oxysporium f. sp. ciceri in the field are presented in Tables 1-2 and Figure 1
It was observed that chickpea seeds treated with Trichoderma viride recorded 21.50% mean per wilt incidence followed by Trichoderma viride 35.25%, neem seed cake 47.00%, Carbendazim 48.90%, Thiram 50.14%and Captan 56.50%
Summary
Background and JustificationsChickpea is a major and cheap source of protein, accounting for about 45% of total pulses produced in the country. During the Rabi season, chickpea has the potential to mitigate the ill effects of rice-wheat cropping system and to sustain the deteriorating agro-ecosystem of the north India. The national productivity of chickpea (859 kg/ha) is very less compared to the potential yield of commercially cultivated varieties and with the countries like USA, Canada, etc. Botrytis grey mould (BGM) (B.cinerea) are the most serious constraints to chickpea productivity in north India causing losses upto 100%. Chickpea is one of the most vulnerable crops to the attack of pests and diseases causing huge production losses. Chickpea wilt pose a severe problem in rainfed areas of Jammu region [15].
