  • Treat seed with carbendazim 50% WP fungicide @ 2g/kg of seed.
  • Or apply Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5% fungicide 2g/kg of seed.
  • For the controlling of yellow mosaic virus, seed should be treated with imidacloprid 600 FS.  (48%) 1ml/kg seeds.

Management of Black Scurf Disease of Potato

03/01/2019Posted on

Management of Black Scurf Disease of Potato:-

  • The black scurf of tubers appears as a black crust on the skin due to the formation of fungus.
  • Rhizoctonia canker/black scurf occurs when stolons contact soil-borne fungal bodies.
  • Symptoms can be observed on above and below ground plant parts.
  • Symptoms observed above ground early in the season include necrosis at the tips of the sprouts and sunken lesions on stolons, roots, and stems.
  • Later in the season stems with cankers can become girdled, resulting in stunted plants.
  • Leaves of infected plants develop a purplish and chlorotic colouration.
  • The pathogen infects plant tissue and causes stolon blinding thus reducing tuber production and yield.

Management

  • Conduct a soil test prior to the establishment of the crop to know nutrient content and soil pH. Low pH is not conducive for disease development.
  • Use disease-free soil. Avoid areas with a history of potato production or history of potato scurf and stem canker.
  • Use certified potato seed and assure disease-free propagation material. If the seed is not certified, it should be treated with antagonists or fungicides before planting.
  • Apply Sulphur 90% WDG @ 6 kg/acre or Use Ammonium Sulphate as Nitrogenous Fertlizer.
  • For the better control of this disease, seed treatment must be applied with pencycuron 250 SC @ 25 ml/quintal tubers or Penflufen @ 10 ml/quintal tubers.
