Mancozeb:- It is a broad spectrum protectant fungicide for the control of a wide
range of diseases in agricultural, horticultural and ornamental crops.
Azoxystrobin:- It is used as a fungicide. It is a broad spectrum systemic active
ingredient widely used in agriculture to protect crops from fungal diseases.
Mancozeb:- Broad spectrum, non-systemic fungicide with protective action.
It used for foliar application or as a seed treatment. It provides nutrients-
Manganese and zinc as micro nutrients. Most frequent uses include control of
early and late blights.
Azoxystrobin is a systemic fungicide that is adsorbed quickly by the roots and
translocated through the xylem to the stems and leaves, or through leaf surface to
the leaf tips and growing edges. It inhibits spore germination, mycelial growth,
and the spore production of fungi.

The estimated area and production of tomato for India are about
3,50,000 hectares and 53,00,000 tons respectively. In Maharashtra
area under tomato cultivation is 43,600 hectare. The average
productivity of tomato in our country is merely 158q/ha while its
productivity in USA is 588q/ha, in Greece 498q/ha, in Italy 466q/ha
and 465q/ha in Spain.
Tomato is the world’s largest vegetable crop and known as
protective food both because of its special nutritive value and also
because of its wide spread production. Tomato is one of the most
important vegetable crops cultivated for its fleshy fruits. Tomato is
considered as important commercial and dietary vegetable crop.
Botanical name of tomato is Lycopersicon esculemtun and
belongs to family Lycopersicae. Tomato is protective
supplementary food. As it is short duration crop and gives high yield,
it is important from economic point of view and hence area under
its cultivation is increasing day by day. Tomato is used in preserved
products like ketch-up, sauce, chutney, soup, paste, puree etc.
Tomato is one of the most important vegetable crops cultivated for
its fleshy fruits. Tomato is considered as important commercial and
dietary vegetable crop. Tomato is known as productive as well as
protective food. It is a rich source of vitamin A and C, it also contains
minerals like iron, phosphorus.

CROPS CULTIVATED FOR ITS FLESHY FRUITS
5. As we know tomato is one of the most important vegetables worldwide. As it is a relatively short duration
crop and gives a high yield, it is economically attractive, and the area under cultivation is increasing
daily but some tomato diseases can cause damage to this crop, therefore it is important to cure tomato
crop with harmful diseases. S

EARLY
BLIGHT
Early blight is one of the most common tomato
diseases, occurring nearly every season wherever
tomatoes are grown. It affects leaves, fruits and
stems and can be severely yield limiting when
susceptible cultivars are used and weather is
favourable. Severe defoliation can occur and
result in sun scald on the fruit.
Signs and symptoms
Severely infected leaves turn brown and fall off, or
dead, dried leaves may cling to the stem.
Larger spots have target-like concentric rings. The
tissue around spots often turns yellow.
Leaf spots are round, brown and can grow up to
half inch in diameter.
Initially, small dark spots form on older foliage near
the ground.
Dose
750-875 gm in 500 ltr water
for per acre

LATE
BLIGHT
7
Late blight is a potentially devastating disease of
tomato, infecting leaves, stems and fruits of tomato
plants.
Late blight first appears on the lower, older leaves as
water-soaked, gray-green spots. As the disease
matures, these spots darken and a white fungal
growth forms on the undersides. Eventually the entire
plant will become infected. Crops can be severely
damaged
Signs and symptoms
Leaf symptoms of late blight first appear as small,
water-soaked areas that rapidly enlarge to form
purple-brown, oily-appearing blotches. On the
lower side of leaves, rings of grayish white
mycelium and spore-forming structures may
appear around the blotches. Entire leaves die and
infections quickly spread to petioles and young
stems. Infected fruit turn brown but remain firm
unless infected by secondary decay organisms;
symptoms usually begin on the shoulders of the
fruit because spores land on fruit from above.
