Root rot and damping off of cowpea crop

Due to the outbreak of diseases, the seedlings remain small and some of these seedlings rot in the hypocotyl region and spread downwards.
Due to this, the roots also start rotting and the plants start drying up.
Brown-black sunken lesions appear on the lower stems of mature plants, and small black sclerotia accumulate in the roots.
Due to this, sometimes the girdle of the stem may break longitudinally.
To avoid its outbreak, adopt crop rotation with non-host crops for 2-3 years.
