How to protect Black gram and Green gram crops from powdery mildew disease

powdery mildew disease
  • The white powder appears on the leaves and other green parts, which later become light-colored white spots. These spots gradually increase in size and become spherical, covering the lower surface as well.
  • In severe infection, the foliage turns yellow causing premature leaf loss.
  • Disease infected plants undergo early maturation resulting in heavy yield loss.
    When the initial disease appears, spray twice a day with NSKE or neem oil 75 ml per 15 liters of water.
  • Spray Hexaconazole 5% SC 400 ml or Thiophanate methyl 70% WP or Azoxystrobin 23 SC 200 ml per acre in 200 water at an interval of fifteen days.
