Fusarium wilt: Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.ciceri

Chickpea

Symptom

Symptom The disease can affect the crop at any stage. The field symptoms of wilt are dead seedlings or adult plants, usually in patches. At seedling stage, 3-5 weeks after sowing, whole seedlings collapse and lie flat on the ground with dull green leaves and shrunken stem. Dark drown or dark discoloration of the internal stem tissues is visible. At adult stage, drooping of petioles, rachis and leaflets and finally entire plant occurs. Management Deep summer ploughing Follow crop rotation measures continuously. Always use disease free seeds. Avoid sowing when temperatures are high. Follow 6-year crop rotations with sorghum Apply FYM 10-15 cart load/ha. Seed treatment with T. viride @4g/kg or P. fluorescens @ 10g/ kg of seed or Carbendazim or Thiram 2g/kg of seed. Spot drenching with Carbendazim 1g/lit or P. fluorescens / T. viride 2.5 kg/ha with 50 kg FYM. Seed treatment with Carbendazim at the rate of 1g/kg of seed / Seed treatment with Thiram + Carbandizm @ 1g+2g per kg of seed
