Description Data on feasible cropping systcms to be used in semi-arid Vcrtisols to rcducc the
soil borne disease of fusarium wilts of samowcr is prcsentcd. Influence of crop
succcssions and fertilirers on discasc incidcncc and on the progression of wilt during
the crop season are discusscd. It is suggcstcd that a break in continuous crop
succcssions of samowcr in thc post rainy scason with a legume like chickpea or
cowpea intcrcroppcd with pigconpca will reduce thc dixasc incidence of wilt in
samowcr. This can be used as an cffectivc rnanagcrncnt practicc in hcavily infected
soils where chemical treatment is impractical and a suitablc resistant variety is not
available.
