T1 (FYM), T2 (FYM + Neem cake), T3(FYM + Neem cake + Neem leaves), T4(Neem leaves), T5(Neem leaves + FYM), T6(Neem leaves + Neem cake), T7(Neem cake), including T8(Carbendazim) as treated check and T0(Control) as untreated check were evaluated against Fusarial wilt of chick pea under field conditions and RBD was used with three replications. Treatment containing composted FYM + Neem cake + Neem leaves (T3) showed minimum disease incidence (30.3%), maximum root length (14.4 cm), shoot length (45.29 cm) and yield (13 q/ha) however C: B ratio showed that Neem leaves + FYM was economical with C: B ratio of 1: 2.91.
