Abstract

An experiment has been conducted during Rabi season, 2009, to evaluate the effect of different soil types viz., black, red, sandy, sandy loam, and clay soil on incidence of pea wilt incited by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. pisi. Results revealed that the disease was significantly highest in black soil (96.40%) followed by clay soil (58.00%). While, least wilt incidence was noticed on red soil (29.20%). It was recorded that the disease incidence varied from locality depending upon cropping pattern, environmental condition and inoculum buildup.
