The present study elucidated the role of different soil parameters viz., soil type, texture and pH on population dynamics of S. rolfsii in the development of collar rot of chickpea. In case of soil types [alfisol (dorsa), inceptisol (matasi), vertisol (kanhar) and entisol (bhata)] least mortality per cent (15.27 %) was observed in inceptisol (matasi) soil whereas highest mortality was observed in vertisol (kanhar) (56.02 %). The infected soil of different textures (sandy, sandy loam, loam, clay, clay loam, silt clay and silt loam), showed least mortality per cent (20.74 %) in sandy loam texture followed by sandy texture (26.67 %). However, highest mortality was observed in clay texture soil (63.22 %), followed by clay loam (45.83 %). In case of different soil pH (5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0 and 8.5) significantly least mortality per cent (19.90%) was observed at pH 8.5 followed by pH 8 (24.07 %) and pH 7.5 (38.42 %) However, highest mortality was observed at pH 6.0 it was 80.75 %.
