Blight/Spot
Sooty Mould Capnodium species
Root knot Nematode Meloidogyne incognita
Leaf spot- Cercospora moricola
Symptoms
 Prevalent during rainy season followed by winter .
 Disease starts progressing 35-40 days after pruning
(DAP) / Leaf harvesting and becomes severe on the
70th DAP
 Brownish necrotic , irregular spots appear on the leaf
surface
 Circular light brown spots appear on both sides of the
leaves
 Highly infected leaves defoliate prematurely
 Leaves become yellow and wither off as disease
become severe
 Temperature of 24- 26⁰C and 70- 80% relative
humidity are most congenial for the disease
development
 Disease is air borne spreading by conidia primarily
through rain droplets
 Spraying of 0.2 % Bavistin solution on the leaves
 Safe period : 5 days

Symptoms
 Disease is more prevalent during winter and rainy
season
 45-50 DAP become severe on 70th DAP
 Mature leaves are more prone to the disease
 Several small pin head shaped brown pustules appear
on the lower surface of mature leaves
 Reddish brown spot appear on the upper surface of the
infected leaves
 Severely infected leaves turn yellowish and margin of
the leaves become dry
 Dispersingby air borne uredospores through
water droplets and wind current
 Temperatureof 22-26⁰C and high relative humidity

above 70% are favourable for the disease
development
 Follow wider spacing of plantation or paired row
system
 Avoid delayed leaf harvest
 Spraying 0.2% kavach on the leaves
 Safe period :5 days
Symptoms:
 Disease is prevalent during winter and rainy
seasons and progresses 40th DAP leaf harvest
becoming severe on 70th DAP
 White powdery patches appear on the lower
surface of leaf which is gradually increased and
cover whole leaf surface
 Affected leaves turn yellowish and defoliate
prematurely
 Disease spread by air borne conidia primarily
through wind
 Temperature of 24-28⁰C and high relative
humidity( 75-80%) are responsible for infection
and disease development
 Follow wider spacing of plantation

 Spraying of 0.2 % Bavistin on the lower surface of
the leaves
Symptoms
 Disease starts progressing 45th DAP becoming
severe on 70th DAP and is prevalent during
summer and rainy seasons
 Browning\ blackening of leaves starting either
from the leaf tip or edges of leaf lamina in the
form of isolated irregular brown coloured patches
 In severe cases disease spreads the entire leaf
surface is affected resulting in fall of leaves
 The disease is air borne dispersing by conidia
through water droplets and wind current
 Temperature of 25 -30⁰C and relative humidity of
40-60% are favourable for the outbreak of fungal
blights
 Remove the infested leaves ,collect in a polythene

bag and destroy by burning
 Spray 0.2% Indofil M.45
Symptoms
 Thick black coating developed on the upper
surface of the leaves
 Mycelium superficial and lives on the sugary
secretion of the sucking pests like hoppers, jassids,
aphids and mealy bugs.
 Presence of adult white flies or their nymph in the
garden which suck the sap from tender leaves
resulting inchlorosis and leaf curl. The highly
infected leaves fall off from the shoot.
 Photosynthetic activity of plant is reduced
Pathogen Fungus produces 5 types of conidia such
as
1. Torula - Yeast like fungus composed of chains
of rounded cells, growing on dead vegetation
2. Trichothecium – 2 celled colourless pink spore
bilaterally, symmetrical youngest on bottom
3. Coniothecium
4. Brachysporium
5. Ascospores from Pseudothecia
 Honeydew excreted by sucking insects serves as a
balanced growth medium for fungi.
 Insect honeydews contain sugars, amino acids,
proteins, minerals, and vitamins all are required for
growth of the fungus.
 Biological control: Release of 500 pairs
of Brumoides suturalis /acre suppresses the
population of whitefly population.
 Mechanical control: Installation of yellow
coloured sticky traps @ 60 traps (2ft x 1 ft)/acre
reduces the white fly infestation.
 Chemical control: Spray of insecticides such as
0.1% Dimethoate, 0.1% Dichlorvos or 1% Neem
oil azadirachtin 1500ppm) is recommended.
 Two weeks (14 days) for both pesticides and
Indofil.
Symptoms
 Disease is prevalent during rainy and winter
seasons and starts progresssing 35th DAP
becoming severe on 70th DAP
 Numerous blackish brown irregular water soaked
patches appear on the leaves resulting in curling
and rotting of leaves
 High temperature 28-30⁰C and high humidity
more than 80% are favourable for the disease
development
 Disease is air and soil borne.
 Soil primary source of infection
 Secondary infection though irrigation and
cultivation practices
 Remove the infested leaves ,collect in a polythene
bag and destroy by burning
 Follow wider spacing of plantation
 Spray 0.2% streptomycin solution
Symptoms
 It is one of the major diseases limiting crop
production throughout the world
 It can occur any time of the year mainly in sandy
soils low in organic matter
 Infected plants become weak and predisposed to
other diseases while severely infected plants
ultimately die
 Stunted growth
 Poor and delayed sprouting
Symptoms
 Reduced leaf size and yield
 Formation of gall/knots on roots
 Retarded root growth
 Necrotic lesions on the root surfaces and death of
active rootlets
 Reduced leaf size and yield
 Poor and delayed sprouting
 Disease spreads primarily though contaminated
soil ,farm implements and run off irrigation
 Temperature 27-30⁰C ,soil moisture of less than

40%
 Apply neem oil cake @ 800 kg/acre /yr in 4 split

doses during intercultural operation .
1. White root rot – Resellinia necatrix
2. Violet root rot – Helicobasidium mompa
3. Stem canker – Botryodiplodia theobromae
4. Stem rot - Polyporus hispidus
5. Collar rot - Phoma mororum
6. Stem blight –Phoma exigue
7. Bud blight – Fusarium lateritium
