ABSTRACT
All the effective test fungicides, bioagent and organic amendment evaluated (In vitro, pot sick soil) for integrated management of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cicer (rabi 2013-2014 and rabi 2014-2015) were found to encourage seed germination, reduce wilt incidence, better plant growth and seed yield in chickpea cv. JG-62. Of the treatments imposed, seed treatment with Carbendazim + Thiram + Trichoderma viride + P. fluorescens and soil application with neem seed cake powder was found most effective with significantly highest seed germination (92.12%), less wilt incidence (12.77%), highest wilt reduction over control (66.88%), better plant growth with more seed yield (12.06 q/ha), followed by Carbendazim + Thiram + Trichoderma viride + P. fluorescens (91.66%, 15.63%, 59.53% and 11.68 q/ha) and Carbendazim + Thiram + Trichoderma viride (91.01%, 17.33%, 55.08% and 11.43 q/ha), respectively. Soil application with neem seed cake powder was found less effective with lowest seed germination (75.46%), highest wilt incidence (33.18%), lowest wilt reduction over control (13.90%) and less seed yield (6.25 q/ha).
