Author(s): Neetu Soni and Pawan L Kulwal
Abstract: Chickpea is important legume crop in India and contribute 64 percent of the world's chickpea production. Drought, heat and dry root rot are major biotic and abiotic factors to limit chickpea production. Currently soil borne pathogen, Rhizoctonia bataticola causes dry root rot and more yield reduction in chickpea during flowering to maturity stage. An investigation was conducted in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotype, JG-62 at Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri during the year 2020-21. Four methods of screening viz. paper towel method, seed inoculation method, pot inoculation method and drenching of mycelium suspension method for dry root rot disease were standardized in green house. Mycelium suspension drenching method exhibited maximum disease incidence which was followed by paper towel, pot inoculation and seed inoculation method. Minimum disease incidence observed in seed inoculation method. This results will help the researchers to select the screening technique to screen chickpea genotype for dry root rot disease.
