Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important pulse crop, in concern of it’s acreage and production and serve as a best source for protein where majority of the population depend upon it for meeting their dietary requirements.

Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri is one of the major constraints in chickpea production causing considerable yield losses. In order to find the best chemical for management of Fusarium wilt different Systemic and Non-systemic Fungicides have been evaluated by using food poison technique in which Carbendazim 50 % WP is highly effective with an inhibition of 86.76 % at 1500 ppm concentration with radial mycelial growth of 10.16 mm when compared to the control followed by Difenconazole 25 % EC with an inhibition of 86.36 % at 1500 ppm concentration with a radial mycelial growth of 16.57 mm. Among the Non-systemic fungicide Copper oxy chloride 50 % WP was found effective in inhibiting the growth of the pathogen representing the values 77.88 %, 76.54 %, 75.80% at 2500 ppm, 2000 ppm, 1500 ppm respectively followed by Mancozeb 75% WP with a radial mycelial growth of 30.50 mm at 2500 ppm with an inhibition of 66.11 % when compared to control.in the present study Systemic fungicides were found effective as compared to Non-systemic fungicides.
