Symptoms and prevention of Wilt Disease in Guava

  • In wilt disease, the leaves turn light yellow while the leaves of the top branches become curved and twisted.

  • In the later stage, the yellowed leaves discolour and fall prematurely. 

  • The plant fails to produce new leaves or flowers causing some of the twigs to bare and eventually dry up.

  • Proper sanitation in the garden can keep the disease at bay. The infected trees should be uprooted, 

  • For prevention of this disease, Trichoderma viride 5 -10 gm or Pseudomonas fluorescence 2.5 -5 gram per 5 kg of treated cow dung should be added per pitcher, while planting and 10 kg per pitcher on old plants.

  • Trichoderma viride 5 -10 gm  or Pseudomonas fluorescence 2.5 -5 gram per litre of water and drench on the plant.

  •  Make a basin around the guava plant and mix CARBENDAZIM 45% WP @ 2 gram/litre of water or COPPER OXYCHLORIDE 50% WP @ 2.5 gram/litre of water and drenching it in the basin.
