%X Black root rot caused by Fusarium solani is considered a minor disease of chickpea.  But chickpea grown after rice has been observed during field visits to have this  problem more extensively and needs confirmation. A program of acquiring  microorganisms (from natural sources, such as compost) with ability to suppress  Fusarium solani in plate culture was started at ICRISAT in 1997/98. A large number of  bacteria assembled in 1998, was characterized in this study.
