Control of soil borne diseases of chickpea with new generation fungicides
Keywords:
Chickpea, Seed treatment, New fungicides, Soil-borne diseasesAbstract
Chickpea crop is affected by numerous diseases from the seedling to maturity stage,among which soil-borne diseases viz. Fusarium wilt, dry root rot, and collar rot directly affect and reduce the chickpea grain yield. Taking this into consideration, the efficacy of six fungicides wastested against the major soilborne pathogens under laboratory and field conditions. Under laboratory conditions, the fungicide carboxin 37.5% + thiram 37.5% WS was found to be most effective against the chickpea pathogens, viz. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri, Rhizoctonia bataticola and Sclerotium rolfsii with 93.20, 94.89 and 85.23 percent mycelial growth inhibition, respectively followed by treatment of carbendazim 25% + mancozeb 50% WS. Under field conditions, the treatment carboxin 37.5% + thiram 37.5% WS@ 4gm/kg produced a significant reduction in soil-borne diseases with the highest grain yield which was at par with the treatment of carbendazim 25% + mancozeb 50 WS @ 3gm/ kg.
