Rapid detection of pathogens in chickpea has become a pre-requisite to facilitate accurate disease diagnosis and surveillance for better management strategy. Among the diseases affecting chickpea, Fusarium wilt [Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc)] can cause 100% yield losses in susceptible cultivars. In this study a method based on the Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) assay for the detection of Foc was developed and sensitivity and specificity of the assay was evaluated.
