Chickpea, Fusarium wilt, Survey, Andhra PradeshAbstract
The survey on Fusarium wilt was conducted to record the incidence, prevalence and distribution of the
disease in major chickpea cultivated areas of Andhra Pradesh i.e., Kurnool, Prakasam, Nellore, YSR Kadapa,
Anantapuramu and Guntur districts during rabi 2014-15. The wilt disease was recorded in the range from 0.2%
to 15.2% during the survey at different crop growth stages. Lower mean wilt incidence (average wilt incidence
at three stages- vegetative, flowering and pod formation stages) of 5.9% was observed in Nellore district,
whereas, the higher mean wilt incidence of 8.32% was found in Kadapa district. Out of all the 30 mandals
surveyed, Kondapuram, Nellore district and Ongole, Prakasam district recorded lower mean wilt incidence of
2.0%. Atmakur (Kurnool dist.) and Vajrakarur (Anantapuramu dist.) were observed with higher mean wilt incidence
of 9.7%. Fusarium wilt was reported in the range from 0.5% to 15.2% at vegetative stage, 0.2% to 12% at
flowering stage and 7.5% to 8% during pod formation stage.
