Abstract

The first results of the evaluation and identification of diseases are presented in the chickpea crop (Cicer arietinum L.) in Cuba and their possible control measures. Samples of leaves shafts, roots and seeds with symptoms of plant pathogens microorganism we are taking and it used the conventional methodology for the isolation and identification of the species. Under laboratory conditions was evaluated the effect of eight fungicides applied to the seed for the control of Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium spp. through the infestation index and the percentage of germination. The appropriate application doses for the most effective fungicides in the treatment to the seed were necessary to evaluate. Was studied the behaviour of four variants for the control of plant diseases from the field behaved in the seed. The results showed that the main diseases in the chickpea in Cuba are those caused by the Complex of Fungus of the soil among which Fusarium spp, Sclerotium rolfsii, Rhizoctonia solani and Macrophomina phaseolina and of them. The most important for the damages that take place and their frequency with which it is Fusarium spp. The treatment to the seed with the fungicides throws in a dose of 4 g of i.a / kilogram of seeds or Falisolan to reason of 3 g of a.i / kilogram of seed was effective in the control of the mushrooms of the soil. The application of systemic fungicides in the reproductive stage of the crop the indexes of infection of fungus that affect the quality of the seed and the yields and population crop level of chickpea diminish.
