Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at the sick plot, Pulses Research Centre, Ishurdi, Pabna during 2010-11 to find out the effective management practices for the management of foot and root rot disease of chickpea. Four management practices and one control were used as treatment. The lowest foot and root rot (7.47%) was obtained from seed treatment with Provax (2g/kg seed) and the highest incidence (18.04%) was obtained from untreated control. The highest no. of pod/plant (40.93), no. of seeds/plant (57.33), wt. of seeds/plant (7.97 g) and yield (2324.20 kg/ha) were recorded in seed treatment with Provax (2g/kg seed) and the lowest of these parameters were obtained from untreated control.

Keywords: Chickpea, Foot and root rot, Management practices

Location: RARS, Ishurdi

Start Date: 13-11-2010

End Date: 13-03-2011

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Chickpea

Objectives:

To find out the effective management practices for the management of foot and root rot disease of chickpea.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the sick plot, Pulses Research Centre, Ishurdi, Pabna during 2010-11. The experimental land was well ploughed and properly leveled. Weeds and stubbles were removed from the field. The experiment was carried out following Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Four management practices viz. saw dust burning, optimum irrigation (2 times), seed treatment with Provax (2g/kg seed), soil drenching with Provax (2g/l water) and one control were used as treatment. The unit plot size was 3.0 m X 1.1 m and plant spacing was 40 cm x 5 cm. The lchickpea variety was used BARIchola 1. Seeds were sown on November 13, 2010. Intercultural operations were done as per needed and to maintain the normal hygienic condition of crop in the field. During the growing period the plots were inspected regularly to record the incidence of foot and root rot disease from seedling to maturity stage of the crop. Dead plants were removed from the field after counting. Disease plant parts were collected in laboratory for identifying foot and root rot pathogens. The crop was harvested on March 13, 2011. Data were recorded on foot and root rot, plant survival, plant height, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/plant, weight of seeds/plant and yield. The recorded data were analyzed statistically to find out the level of significance and the variations among the respective data were compared following Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DMRT).

Achievement/Findings:

Foot and root rot incidence was significantly influenced by the treatments. The lowest foot and root rot (7.47%) was obtained from seed treatment with Provax (2g/kg seed) which was statistically similar to soil drenching with Provax (2g/l water) and saw dust burning, and the highest incidence (18.04%) was obtained from untreated control. Number of pod/plant, number of seeds/plant, weight of seeds/plant and yield under different management practices varied significantly from one to another but plant height was non-significant. The highest number of pod/plant (40.93), number of seeds/plant (57.33), weight of seeds/plant (7.97 g) and yield (2324.20 kg/ha) were recorded in seed treatment with Provax (2g/kg seed) and the lowest of these parameters were obtained from untreated control.
