Abstract: The present study was undertaken in-vitro to know the efficacy of Fungicides and bio control agents to Manage of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris causing wilt in chickpea. Isolates of Fusarium spp. that were isolated from various samples belonged infested with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris. The pathogenicity of fungal isolates was confirmed by Koch’s postulates on susceptible chickpea cultivar ‘GNG 1958’. The F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris isolate from Kherot-KHR Foc-09 was found highly virulent by producing high degree of wilt incidence. Six fungicides were evaluated for their efficacy against F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris at 100, 500 and 1000 ppm concentrations, results showed that Carbendazim was the most effective in suppressing the growth of F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris at all concentrations which was followed by Saaf. Among bio control agents, Trichoderma viride-5 was showed severe antagonism and highly effective against F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris in dual culture technique.
