Subject Chickpea
 
Description Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is the third most important
food legume grown on 11 million ha with 7.1 million t
production in over 45 countries of the world. The crop
significantly contributes to human nutrition through high
quality protein, soil fertility through biological nitrogen
fixation and diversification of cereal-based cropping
systems through water use efficiency. Chickpea productivity
is limited by several diseases, of which Ascochyta blight
(AB) caused by Ascochyta rabiei, Botrytis gray mold
(BGM) caused by Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium wilt
(FW) caused by Fusarium oxypsorum f sp ciceris are
predominant. These diseases can be managed by seed
dressing and foliar application of fungicides. However,
fungicidal management of AB and BGM is unsustainable,
uneconomical and hazardous to environment.
