How to manage Wilt disease in soybean
  • Wilt disease is a growing soil-borne disease in soybean production areas.

  • This disease is caused by cold temperatures and wet soil during early vegetative growth, plants are infected during the early reproductive stages, but symptoms appear later.
  • Due to wilting, there is brown discoloration in the roots and stems, and the leaf becomes chlorotic. To prevent this disease, soil treatment, and seed treatment are very important.
  • Fungicide is used for the prevention of this disease.
  • Spray Propiconazole 25% EC or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 g / acre or Thiophanate methyl 70% WP 500 g / acre.
  • In biological treatment, use Trichoderma viride @ 500 gram / acre or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gram / acre. These fungicides are used as soil treatment and seed treatment.
  • In case of more problems,  also use a decomposer before sowing the crop in the field.
