  Author(s): Daniel Assfaw* and Tilahun Negash
  
  Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) is one of the important grain legume crops in Africa particularly in Ethiopia which widely grown in marginal soils and usually as rotational crops in highland and semi-highland regions of the country and also as a source of cash to the farmers and foreign currency in Ethiopia. However, its production is totally affected by many pest and diseases. Among biotic stresses, wilt or root rot diseases are considered as the major problems in chickpea production. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the assessment of chickpea wilts disease intensity, in West Shewa, Ethiopia. Field survey was carried out in purposively selected Kebeles of Ambo and Dendi districts of West Shewa, Ethiopia. The results of the study revealed that, among 70 chickpea fields surveyed in both districts, the overall mean prevalence and incidence of the disease wer.. View more»
