Research on the diseases of black gram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper), khesari (Lathyrus sativus L.), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), and lentil (Lens culinaris Medic.) has been conducted since 1976 at the Bangladesh Agricultural University. Twenty three diseases of black gram, 15 of khesari, and 5 of chickpea were detected in their seeds. Six seedborne pathogens were identified in black gram, 2 in khesari, and 3 in chickpea. Timely sowing of lentil and chickpea after the first week of November reduced collar-rot damage, while application of nitrogen increased the incidence. Seed treatments to control various diseases have been worked out. Screening under field conditions and subsequent artificial inoculation of 216 black gram and khesari lines led to the identification of M 23 black gram and L 14 khesari, as moderately resistant to fusarium wilt and collar rot. Present on-going studies and future plans for research are discussed.
