Damping off disease is a big problem in nursery

Damping-off disease in nurseries is a common disease that mostly occurs in nurseries at the seedling stage. This disease spreads very quickly and infects the seedlings and kills them.
This disease is caused by soil-borne fungi like Pythium / Phytophthora / Rhizoctonia / Fusarium.
In its symptom, brown watery sunken wounds appear on the stem near the ground. Gradually, the stem and roots rot and the seedling falls to the ground surface and dies.
Disease development occurs more rapidly in seedlings planted in high density, high humidity and high temperature.
For the management of this disease use Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% @ 30 gm/pump or Thiophanate Methyl 70%W/W @ 50 gm/pump or Mancozeb 64% + Metalaxyl 8% WP @ 60 gm/pump.
