Abstract: Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), also known as Bengal Gram is one of the major pulse cultivated and consumed in India. Chickpea wilt caused by fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris is one of the serious disease causing huge loss to crop throughout the world. Mushroom growing is an ecofriendly activity as it utilizes the waste from agriculture, horticulture, poultry, brewery etc. for its cultivation. However, piling up of “spent mushroom substrateâ€. The button spent mushroom substrate used as different concentrations with soil to manage aginst Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris in chick pea wilt under pot conditions. The observations were recorded for effect of spent mushroom substrate and their combinations on Fusarium wilt disease incidence, severity index and phenotypic parameters. All the treatments are significant results over control. The above findings are very useful for the farmers for making decision over the use of organic materials for management of wilt disease which is safe management practice for environment, also increased yield of chickpea.
