Abstract

Out of 54 plant species tested, the pathogen was able to infect 41 of them indicated that the fungus had a very wide host range. The disease incidence was low (16%) while sown on 1st October. The germination percentage was very less (10%) compared to other sowing dates. Further, Mid-October sown chick pea also exhibited low disease incidence (37.1%) and good germination percentage.
