Experiment Background
|
India has the largest acreage and production of pigeonpea. It is grown in an area of 5.00 million ha and production of 3.84 million tonnes in Asia with production shared by 72 per cent of global production. In India, the area grown under this crop is 3.9 million hectares (FAO, 2018 ) with an annual production of 3.02 million tonnes leading to a productivity of 650 kg/ ha (Anon., 2015). In Gujarat, pigeonpea is grown under 1.82 lakh hectares with an annual production of 2.06 lakh tonnes leading to a productivity of 1132 kg/ha (Anon., 2015). Diseases are major biological constraints to production, and more than 60 pathogens including fungi, bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, and nematodes can infect pigeonpea.
Fortunately, only a few of them cause economic losses. Of these, wilt, sterility mosaic and phytopthora blight are region specific. Hence, this experiment is frame out to know the estimation of yield loss occur due to diseases of pegionpea.
