Abstract :

 Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important food legume crop. In Maharashtra it ranks 2nd in area, 3rd in production. 10.51 lakh hector area is under the cheakpea crop, Production of cheakpea is 8.15 lakh tones and 775 kg/hector. This crop is cultivated on large scale in Maharashtra. Due to cultivation of chickpea in large areas it is attacked by several pathogens. Soil borne pathogens like Fusarium, Sclreotium and Rhizoctonia is major constraint to chickpea production in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. Yield reductions results from post emergence death of seedling and weakening, wilt, root rot as well as premature death of infected plants. This is controlled by using different seed dressers having combinations of different chemicals such as Mancozeb ,Carbendazim,Carboxin,Thiram, and biological agents ie. Trichoderma.

This paper contains analysis of variance between treatment effects of different seed dressers on seed of Chickpea to get most effective combination of seed dressers. Due to wilt or root rot seed get damaged, hence to control wilt and root rot seed dressers are used.
