Leaf spot disease will cause severe infection in brinjal leaves, learn preventive measures

  • Infection of brinjal plants with leaf spot disease initially appears on older leaves. These spots are small, chlorotic globular to oval in shape that turn brown to brown on the upper leaf surface and light brown on the lower leaf surface.

  • As the disease progresses, concentric rings of diseased tissue may develop with sporulation in the center of the spots. Wounds can dry out, causing cracks in the tissue and the development of shot holes.

  • In this disease, the infection does not spread on the fruits of brinjal, but due to severe infection on the leaves, there can be a huge reduction in yield.

  • To control the disease use Novaphanate (Thiophanate methyl 75%wp) @ 300 gm/acre + Monas-curb (Pseudomonas fluorescens 1% w.p.) @ 250gm per acre.
