Abstract

The incidence of wilt disease of pigeonpea in Marathwada region ranged from 1 to 22% with mean incidence of 5.09%. Sole crop of pigeonpea expressed more incidence than the intercrop with sorghum, soybean or cotton. Only 40.46% farmers were using certified seeds of pigeonpea varieties BSMR736, BSMR-853 and BDN-708, indicating great scope for seed replacement with processed and treated seeds of recommended varieties.
