Organic enriched composts viz., himcompost, vermicompost, farm yard manure, poultry manure and NADEP and organic formulations namely cow urine, beejamrit, panchgavya, tamarlassi, vermiwash and biosol were evaluated against Fusarium wilt of chickpea caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris under in vitro conditions. Among all the organic formulations, Panchgavya showed maximum mycelial inhibition of 92.22 per cent followed by Biosol i.e. 72.22 per cent at 10 per cent concentration against the pathogen whereas, Tamarlassi was found least effective with 15.56 per cent mycelial inhibition. The extracts of all five organic composts showed antifungal properties against the pathogen even at 5 per cent concentration. At 25 per cent concentration Himcompost yielded maximum mycelial inhibition of 71.11 per cent followed by Vermicompost i.e. 65.27 per cent against the pathogen whereas, NADEP was found least effective i.e. 44.17 per cent inhibition. Hence, Himcompost and Panchgavya can be used as soil amendment and seed dresser, respectively for ecofriendly management of Fusarium wilt of chickpea.

Among all the organic formulations, Panchgavya showed maximum mycelial inhibition of 92.22 per cent followed by Biosol i.e. 72.22 per cent at 10 per cent concentration against the pathogen whereas, Tamarlassi was found least effective with 15.56 per cent mycelial inhibition. The extracts of all five organic composts showed antifungal properties against the pathogen even at 5 per cent concentration. At 25 per cent concentration Himcompost yielded maximum mycelial inhibition of 71.11 per cent followed by Vermicompost i.e. 65.27 per cent against the pathogen whereas, NADEP was found least effective i.e. 44.17 per cent inhibition.
