Higher counts of sclerotia were recorded in the intercropping systems of sorghum or cowpea with pigeon pea than in single-cropping systems. The highest counts of sclerotia were recorded in plots where sorghum was intercropped continuously with pigeon pea in both the rainy and postrainy seasons. An increase in the populations of sclerotia was also recorded when rainy season sorghum was followed by either safflower or chickpea (Cicer arietinum). Cropping systems with fallow in the rainy season, followed by sorghum or chickpea in the postrainy season, stabilized the inoculum density of M. phaseolina. date: 1990 date_type: published publication: Plant Disease volume: 74 number: 10 publisher: American Phytopathological Society pagerange: 812-814 refereed: TRUE issn: 0191-2917 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1094/PD-74-0812. related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Influence+of+Cropping+Systems+on+Macrophomina+phaseolina+Populations+in+Soil&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&as_sdt=1.&as_sdtp=on&as_sdtf= related_url_type: author citation: Singh, S K and Nene, Y L and Reddy, M V (1990) Influence of Cropping Systems on Macrophomina phaseolina Populations in Soil.
