Abstract: Fusarium wilt is a serious disease of chickpea in India and world. It is a serious soil borne disease. Pathogenicity of the fungus was carried out on a chickpea variety GNG-1958, which exhibited wilting after 25 days of inoculation. Observations of symptomatology and pathogenecity were recorded. Further, on the basis of morphological and cultural characteristics of the pathogen, it was confirmed that the pathogen was Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri. Further the pathogen was identified from ITCC (Indian Type Culture Collection) Lab, IARI, New Delhi.
Keywords: Chickpea,Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri, Variety
