The bacteria of this disease are most active when there is moisture and light rain in the environment or in high humidity. Small, brown, water-soaked, circular spots with yellow circles appear on the leaves of affected plants. Older leaves start falling off and small, water-soaked spots appear on green fruits. The centre of these spots becomes irregular, light brown and with a scaly surface.
Control: To control this disease, spray Streptocycline (Streptomycin Sulphate 90% + Tetracycline Hydrochloride 10% SP) @ 20-24 gm per acre mixed with 150-200 litres of water as soon as the outbreak of the disease is observed.
