Bio-inoculants against chick pea wilt incited by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri

Abstract

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the major pulses in human diet for essential source of inexpensive protein. Wilt disease is one of the major constraints in production of chickpea caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri is widespread in chickpea growing areas resulting in considerable economic losses. The experiment was conducted use of bioagents against chick pea wilt under In-vitro and green house (pot culture) conditions. Under Dual culture bioagents Trichoderma viride, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescen are shown significant results.While in pot culture observations to be recorded at different combinations of bioagents on Growth parameters, physiological parameters and disease severity on Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri.
