Prevention of Fusarium basal rot disease in garlic crop

  • Initially, yellowing of leaves and stunted growth of the plant is observed, which later on proceed to dry downwardly from the tip.

  • In the early stage of infection, the roots of the plant turn pink in colour and start rotting. In an advanced stage, the bulb starts decaying from the lower ends and ultimately the whole plant dies.

  • Favourable conditions:- Ideally moist soil and a temperature of 27 °C help in the development of the disease.

  • For the prevention of this disease use CARBENDAZIM 12% + MANCOZEB 63% WP @ 300 gram / acre orKASUGAMYCIN 5% + COPPER OXYCHLORIDE 45% WP @ or 300 gram / acre

  • As a biological treatment, use PSEUDOMONAS FLUORESCENS  @ 250 gram / acre or TRICHODERMA VIRIDE @ 500 gram / acre use  near the plant.
