 ABSTRACT

A survey was conducted in rabi 2017 in different chickpea growing districts of Andhra Pradesh viz., Kurnool, Kadapa, Anantapuramu, Pakasam and Guntur. Due to favorable weather conditions and variation in sowing dates in different districts, different crop growth stages i.e. from seedling to podding stage were observed and the disease was observed in all the stages. The mean maximum dry root rot incidence was observed in Anantapuramu (11.50%) and the least in Guntur (6.00%). Disease occurrence was observed irrespective of cropping system, soil types and cultivars. Mostly the disease incidence was low in the irrigated fields compared to rainfed fields.

Keywords: Survey, Disease, Distribution, Cropping system and Incidence
