Damping-off disease will cause damage in onion nursery

  • High soil moisture and moderate temperature along with high humidity, especially in the rainy season leads to the development of this disease.  

  • Pre-emergence damping off results in seed and seedling rot before emerging from the soil.  

  • Post-emergence damping-off results in pathogens attacking the collar region of seedlings on the surface of the soil.  

  • The collar portion rots and ultimately the seedling collapses and dies. 

  • Healthy seeds should be selected before sowing.

  • Spray of CARBENDAZIM 12% + MANCOZEB 63% WP@ 30 gram /pump or THIOPHANATE METHYL 70% W/W @ 30 gm/Pump or MANCOZEB 64%+ METALAXYL 8% WP @ 60 gram/pump.
