Integrated management and host plant resistance against dry root rot [Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi.) Goid] of chickpea

The present experiment was planned integrated management of root rot pathogen in chickpea. Occurrence of root rot disease has become a major constraint in recent years for successful and profitable cultivation of chickpea. The efficacy of Bio-agent viz. Tricoderma viride, Organic amendment viz. neem cake, Plant extract, garlic, and Fungicide, Carbendanzim applied through seed treatment and soil application were evaluated against Macrophomina phaseolina causing root rot disease of Chickpea.
