Symptoms and Measures of Anthracnose disease in soybean

  • Anthracnose is an important disease of the soybean crop, causing yield loss of up to 16-100%. This disease affects all stages of crop development. Symptoms can be seen on leaves, fruits, pods and even stems. Irregularly shaped spots, dark sunken lesions or reddish-brown spots appear on the plant. In the early stages of the infection, there are no seeds formed in the pods. The favourable temperature is 28-32 ºC. The pathogen infects the host at a minimum temperature of 22-25ºC. 

  • To prevent this, spray Tebuconazole 10% + Sulfur 65%WG @ 500 gm/acre and Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP @ 300 gm/acre and Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP @ 300 gm/acre.

  • For biological treatment, spray of Trichoderma viride @ 500 gm/acre or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gm/acre can be done.

How to control downy mildew disease in cucurbits

How to control downy mildew disease in cucurbits

  • Downy mildew is a serious and common fungal disease during warm and humid conditions with overcast days. The undersides of leaves are speckled with small, water-soaked spots that become powdery patches of mycelium and spores.

  • The infections are usually concentrated near the leaf veins. The white patches are from 1–6 cm in diameter, with corresponding yellowish-green spots on the upper leaf surface. As the disease progresses, severely infected leaves become necrotic and appear scorched. They curl and fall from plants prematurely. Mildew on immature fruit begins as circular patches of white mycelium and spores that can coalesce and cover the entire fruit. As the fruit ripens, the fungus may disappear, leaving behind grey scars. The scars restrict the growth of the underlying tissue, resulting in deformed fruit. The deformed fruit is edible but has little or no value in the market. 

  • Chemical control of downy mildew disease on crops- 

  • Chlorothalonil 75 %  WP 400 gm or Metalaxyl 8%+Mancozeb 64% 500 gm per acre spray can control the downy mildew disease.

  • For biological control Trichoderma viride 0.5 kg per acre can be used.
