Effect of six botanicals plants extract, one fungicide and three bio-agents were studied on seed germination and seedling vigour index in chickpea (var. chaffa-816). A pot culture experiment was conducted to record the pre and post-emergence seedling mortality caused by three pathogens Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri, Rhizoctonia bataticola, Sclerotium rolfsii, in in vitro. Maximum germination, shoot length, ischolar_main length and seedling vigour index recorded in carbendazim followed by Trichoderma viride and Azadirachta indica. Lowest pre and post-emergence seedling mortality recorded in Carbendazim followed by Trichoderma viride, Azadirachta indica, Eucalyptus spp.
