Chickpea, (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important pulse crops of India, which belongs to family Fabaceae. It occupies very important position in semi-arid farming system both for human nutrition and restoring the soil fertility. Occurrence of dry root rot caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler is emerging as a serious biotic constraint in recent years for successful and profitable cultivation of chickpea the efficacy of various fungicides viz. Thiophenate methyl 450g/l + Pyreclostrobin 50g/l (xelora 500g/l FS), Thiophenate methyl 50%WP, Pyraclostrobin 20WG, and Carbendazim 50% WP as seed treatment and soil application were evaluated against Rhizoctonia bataticola causing root rot disease of Chickpea. Management study of root rot disease of chickpea done under field conditions for two years. significantly lower incidence of root rot and wilt (6%) and higher yield (6.76 q/ha) was recorded in T3 (Seed treatment with Thiophenate methyl 450g/l + Pyraclostrobin 50g/l FS @ 4ml/kg of seed), which was on par with the T4 (Seed treatment with Thiophenate methyl 450g/l + Pyraclostrobin 50g/l foliar spray @ 5ml/kg of seed) by showing per cent disease incidence of 6.3 and yield of 6.75 q/ha. Whereas, T7 (Seed treatment with Carbendazim 50%WP @ 3ml/kg) was found least effective by showing per cent incidence of 12.90 and yield of 5.7q/ha among the treatments. Maximum incidence of root rot and wilt (21.90%) and lowest yield (5.12q/ha) recorded in untreated control.
