Local cultivars predominated in most farmers’ fields (25% - 48%). 63% of the farmers were practices seed treatment with fungicide. Dry root rot and collar rot diseases were found at all of the sites and incidence ranged from 8.9% - 10.3% and 7.1% - 10.5% respectively irrespective of cultivar type and locations. Incidence of wilt and black root rot disease ranged from 9.7% - 13.8% and 6.6% - 7.4% respectively. Black root rot disease was found in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka states only. The result indicated that dry root rot and collar rot is currently highly distributed in all surveyed chickpea growing areas of central and southern parts of India. Therefore, possible management options are vital to alleviate the problem. date: 2013 date_type: published publication: American Journal of Plant Sciences volume: 4 number: 4 publisher: Scientific Research pagerange: 940-944 refereed: TRUE issn: 2158-2750 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ajps.2013.44116 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=%22Occurrence+and+Distribution+of+Chickpea+Diseases+in+Central+and+Southern+Parts+of+India%27&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5 related_url_type: pub citation: Ghosh, R and Sharma, M and Telangre, R and Pande, S (2013) Occurrence and Distribution of Chickpea Diseases in Central and Southern Parts of India.
