Abstract
The chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is an annual legume of the family Fabaceae sub family Faboideae. Its different types are variously known as gram or Bengal gram, Garbanzo or Garbanzo bean, or Egyptian pea. Chickpea seeds are high in protein. The lesion nematode Pratylenchus thornei is described as a major limiting factor in chickpea. In this experiment we have taken 10- treatments, i.e. T1 - Compost, T2 - Glomus etunicatium, T3 Rhizobium, T4 - Oil seed cake, T5 - Acaulospora scrobiculata, T6 - Compost + Glomus etunicatium + Acaulospora scrobiculata, T7 - Compost + Rhizobium + Acaulospora scrobiculata, T8 - Oil seed cake + Glomus etunicatium +Acaulospora scrobiculata, T9 - Oil seed cake + Rhizobium + Acaulospora scrobiculata) and used T0 - Control as a check. We have analyzed it statistically on the basis of observation made in this research. The observations include pot and field experiments having growth parameters [Days flowering initiation, Branches (No.), Shoot length (cm), Flower (no.)]. In this research paper we have compiled the above all information and study the effect of different organic sources on growth of lesion nematode on chickpea.
