Onion crop will be damaged due to Damping off disease, know how to prevent

Onion crop will be damaged due to Damping off disease
  • High soil moisture and moderate temperature along with high humidity, especially in the rainy season leads to the development of the disease.

  • Pre-emergence damping off results in seed and seedling rot before these emerge out of the soil.

  • Post-emergence damping off results in pathogen attack on 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 for sowing.

  • Spray of Carmanova (Carbendazim 12%+ Mancozeb 63% WP) @ 500gm/Acre.
