Management of Powdery mildew disease in bitter gourd

  • First of all, white-grey spots start appearing on the upper part of the leaves which later grow into white coloured powder.
  • This fungus draws nutrients from the plants and hinders photosynthesis, which stops the plant’s growth.
  • With the growth of the disease, the infected part dries up and the leaves fall off.
  • Hexaconazole 5% SC 400 ml or Thiophanate methyl 70 WP 200 ml or Azoxystrobin 23 SC with 200 to 250 litres of water for an interval of fifteen days.
