Description Wilt/root rot diseases are a major chickpea production
constraint in Ethiopia causing yield losses by reducing
the number of plants. To determine the current status of
disease incidence and distribution, surveys were conducted
in the 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 cropping seasons in major
chickpea growing zones of Ethiopia. Despite recent efforts in
dissemination of improved varieties, low to high incidence
of 0.0–83.4, 0.0–27.6, 1.3–19.8 and 0.0–16.3% and 1.0–81.9,
0.0–25.5, 3.0–13.9 and 1.0–21.5% in East Gojjam, Southwest
Shewa, North Shewa and West Shewa in 2013/2014
and 2014/2015, respectively. Therefore, integrated pest
management strategies should be developed and availed to
farmers.
