The effect of inter row spacing, intercropping, row direction and uniform nipping of tender branches were separately studied on the severity of Botrytis grey mould (B. cinerea) of chickpea. Experiments conducted over three years at the Crop ResearchCentre of the University in Pantnagar, India, demonstrated that wide row spacing of 60 cm, intercropping with dwarf or semi-dwarf wheat varieties and uniform nipping of tender branches of chickpea after 45 or 60 days of planting not only reduced the disease severity significantly but also increased the grain yield per unit area. also.
