Abstract:

The present studies were undertaken for the estimation of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sugar and Phenol content in seeds of six resistant to susceptible genotypes such as, JG 315 (Resistant), Vaibhav, JG 74 (Moderately resistant), ICCV 2 (Susceptible), JG 62 and L 550 (Highly susceptible). Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sugars and Phenols content of seed had significant relation with the resistance of chickpea against wilt complex pathogens. Significantly higher percentage of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Sugars was recorded in highly susceptible varieties (L 550 and JG 62) and it was significantly lower in resistant variety (JG 315). While, Total phenol content of seed was found maximum in resistant variety (JG 315) and minimum in highly susceptible variety (JG 62). This indicate that Nitro- -gen, Phosphorus and Sugars content of seed had direct relationship and Total phenol had inverse relationship with the resistance of host against wilt complex causing fungi.
