© 2023 Friends Science PublishersFusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. spp. ciceris is a disease that causes significant yield loss in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) worldwide. This study was aimed at investigating the effects of some fungicides (triticonazole + pyraclostrobin, fluxapyroxad, prothioconazole + tebuconazole) and three bioagents (Bacillus subtilis, Mesorhizobium ciceri and Serretia odorifera) against fusarium wilt of chickpea. Azkan and ILC482 cultivars were used in the experiment. Azkan is a most common cultivar in Turkey. ILC482 is susceptible to fusarium wilt disease.The experiment was conducted in a growth chamber. The seeds were treated with fungicides and the bioagents, and planted in pots containing pathogen-contaminated soil. The data about emergence rates, disease severity, plant height, root length, root-stem fresh and dry weight and total biomass of the plants were recorded. All of the investigated characters except for disease severity were higher for fungicide applications. Disease severity was higher pozitife control plots. But bioagents were quite effectively in controlling the disease. Considering the harm caused by chemicals to the environment, biological agents can be suggested fo fusarium wilt control in the chickpea cultivation
