Abstract

This pot experiment was conducted for two consecutive years of 2019–20 and 2020–21 in completely randomized design. The seed of highly wilt susceptible variety (JG- 62) of chickpea was taken for this investigation. These results were revaluated that's, only two botanicals viz., Azadirachta indica and Parthenium hysterophorus were found most effective in reducing the wilt incidence disease 4.25 and 5.37 per cent, respectably, along with this seed germination percentage and seedling emergence was found maximum in Azadirachta indica as 23.00 and 19.25 per cent, respectably followed by Parthenium hysterophorus as 20.62 and 17.12 per cent, respectably in compression of Lantana camara and Argemone mexicana. In case of bio-agents results were revaluated that's, only two bio-agents viz., Trichoderma viride and T. harzianum were found most effective in reducing the wilt incidence disease 4.75 and 5.50 per cent, respectably, along with this seed germination percentage and seedling emergence was found maximum in Trichoderma viride as23.87 and 22.25 per cent, respectably followed by T. harzianum as 21.5 and 18.62 per cent, respectably in compression of T. hamatum and T. koningiiand in the case of fungicides, results were revaluated that's, only two fungicides of different groups viz., Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% (combi-fungicides) and Carbendazim (systemic fungicide) were found most effective in reducing the wilt incidence disease 1.50 and 2.62 per cent, respectably, along with this seed germination percentage and seedling emergence was found maximum in Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% as 24.25 and 22.75 per cent, respectably followed by Carbendazim as 23.25 and 21.62 per cent, respectably. Minimum effectiveness was recorded in non-systemic fungicide namely Chlorothalonil 75% WP during this investigation into the pot culture under in-vivo (field conditions).
