Abstract: Chick pea is an important pulses crop in India. It is grown mostly during rainy seasons; however development of short duration and disease resistant varieties led its cultivation during spring season in almost all parts of country. The worldwide number of pathogens increases from 49-172 nearly, of which 35 have been recorded in India. Chickpea is reported to be attacked by about 67 fungi, 3 bacteria, 22 viruses and Mycoplasma and 80 nematodes. These pathogens originate from the groups of bacteria, fungi, viruses, Mycoplasma and nematodes. Among, fungal incidence causes more than 35-55% yield loss on Chick pea plant. More emphasis is needed on disease management of this crop as; this field lacks attention in spite of the importance it renders to the masses. To combat such problems, accurate and robust detection and quantification of fungi is essential for diagnosis, modeling and surveillance. Also direct detection of fungi enables a deeper understanding of natural microbial communities, particularly as a great many fungi are difficult or impossible to cultivate. In the last decade, effective amplification platforms, various quantitative PCR technologies have revolutionized research on fungal detection and identification.
