Use fungicide along with irrigation water to prevent wilt disease in gram

Symptoms of disease: Fusarium wilt is a very devastating disease in gram crops, its problem is seen in 2 stages of crops. During vegetative growth stage and flowering stage, its main symptom is yellowing and browning of leaves from bottom to top and eventually wilting and drying of plants. When the stem is cut, the internal tissue appears brown, due to which nutrients and water do not reach all parts of the plant. And the plants start dying. The collar and root area appear dark brown or black in color when the plants are uprooted.

Preventive measures: To prevent Fusarium wilt in gram crops, apply Combat (Trichoderma viridi 1.0% WP) @ 2.0 kg per acre and apply irrigation immediately to the field.
