Description
With newer diseases affecting chickpea crops, it is increasingly important to detect and manage them on time. With a view to develop and disseminate standardized protocols for detection, phenotyping and management of chickpea diseases, a group of chickpea experts came together to share their skills and knowledge in an online workshop recently. At the outset of the 3-day workshop, Dr Mamta Sharma, Theme Leader, Integrated Crop Management, ICRISAT, said that one of the effects of climate change has been an increased incidence of pest and diseases in chickpea crop and minor diseases becoming major.
