Abstract
Fusarium wilt, a devastating disease of chickpea is highly influenced by environmental conditions. Several reports have shown that host-plant resistance becomes ineffective as a result of changes in climatic factors. In this study, two chickpea varieties, JG 62 (wilt susceptible) and HC 5 (wilt resistant) were evaluated for changes in natural wilt incidence for a period of three years (2017-18 to 2019-20) in relation to the atmospheric and edaphic factors occurring in the growing seasons. Lower temperatures and higher soil moisture conditions favoured by the rainfall supported little reduction in wilt incidence during the cropping season in resistant variety HC 5, as compared to the previous years. However, there was no significant change in the disease incidence in the case of variety JG 62 owing to its strong susceptible nature.
