Chickpea, Cicer aritinum L. is the world third most important pulse crop. The average yield losses of chickpea vary between 10% and 100% depending on the agro climatic conditions due to incidence of wilt disease. Experiment was conducted in 2010-11 & 2011-12 to evaluation Integrated Disease Management module (Summer Deep Ploughing + Resistant Variety + Seed treatment by Trichoderma viridae @ 4 gm along with carboxin @ 1 gm/ Kg Seed). Chickpea wilt resistant variety JG-130 was used during the experiments with a seed rate of 75 kg/ha. The IDM module were reduce the wilt disease incidence which is ranges from 62.75 % to 71.92 % in 2010-11 & 2011-12, respectively over farmers practice resulted enhance the average productivity 16.50 % over farmers practice. The benefit: cost ratio was also enhance under technology, it was ranged from 1:1.50 to 1:2.60 in demonstration & 1:1.30 to 1:2.40 in farmers practice, respectively in 2010-11 & 2011-12.
