%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.
