Abstract

The article focuses on the production of chickpea in Nepal through integrated crop management, with emphasis on botrytis gray mold. Chickpea seed is a second most important crop after lentil, among winter legumes. This seed contains 12 to 30 percent protein and is rich in essential amino acids, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins A and C. It fixes nitrogen in soil and reduces fertilizer costs in subsequent cereal crops such as rice and maize.
