Abstract: Bengal gram or king of pulse crop is another name of chickpea. It is one of the main pulse crops grown during the rabi season in India. Now-a-days several biotic and abiotic stresses cause harm in Chickpea production. Among of them, Fusarium wilt of chick pea is a serious problem in India. In the sense of biological management of Fusarium wilt of chickpea through Trichoderma isolates are significantly reduces the fungal pathogen population in the oil.
In order to manage fusarium, wilt the present investigation was carried out on Department of Plant Pathology, Faculty of Agriculture Sciences and Allied Industries, Rama University, Kanpur, UP. (India). In all the treatment, substantially boosting the morphology of chickpea against control, the highest number of branches were highest studies from T1, with value of 13. The highest root length was found in T1 [Trichoderma harzianum (KN)] treatment with value the representing 14.33 cm with increase 93.12% over the control. Incase of yield parameters highest number of pods was also found in T1 [Trichoderma harzianum (KN)] representing 42 followed by T2 [Trichoderma harzianum (VAN)] and T3 [Trichoderma harzianum (UNN)] with the value about 36 and 37 respectively. All treated plants subsequently significantly increased germination percentage, morphological parameters and yield parameters over the non-treated plants.
