Abstract

A survey under taken to find out phytoparasitic nematodes associated with chickpea in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh revealed fourteen nematode genera associated with chickpea. Nematode genera associated were Pratylenchus, Tylenchorhynchus, Hoplolaimus, Tylenchus, Helicotylenchus, Filenchus, Basiria, Aphelenchus, Rotylenchulus, Scutellonema, Boleodorus, Basirolaimus, Hemicycliophora and Paratylenchus. Pratylenchus was most prominent nematode genera observed with prominence value 424.4, Absolute frequency 48.7% and absolute density 574.7 nematode/100 cc soil. This was followed by Tylenchorhynchus and Hoplolaimus. Pratylenchus was also observed in roots of chickpea. The root infection in field was evident with sparse and patchy growth with drying of basal leaves. Pratylenchus was most prominent in Hamirpur district prominence value 808.5 followed by in Banda and Jhansi districts with prominence value 440 and 297.1, respectively. Tylenchorhynchus was most prominent in Jhansi followed by in Fatehpur and Jalaun districts with prominence values 227.4, 206.3 and 153.7, respectively. Similarly, Hoplolaimus was most prominent in Jalaun district with prominence value 609.0 followed by in Banda and Jhansi districts with prominence values 254.6 and 134.8, respectively.
