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 the 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 grams or Pseudomonas fluorescence 2.5 -5 grams 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 drench it in the basin.
