3. Yellowing from Tip to
Downwards
Stunted with Reduced Tillering
Completely Withered Plant
Symptoms
4. Special detection technique
Collect leaf samples at 6 a.m.
The top 10 cm portion of the leaf is immersed in a
solution containing 2 g of iodine and 6 g of KI in 100
ml of water for 15 minutes.
Washed in water and when examined.
Tungro infected leaves develop dark blue streaks.
6. Cultural methods
Resistant varieties:
IR 36, IR 50 ,ADT
37, Ponmani, Co 45, Co
48, IR 36 and white ponni
Apply Neem Cake to nursery
Ploughing to Incorporate Stubbles
7. Chemical methods
Maintain 2.5 cm of water in the nursery and broadcast anyone of the
following in 20 cents Carbofuran 3 G 3.5 kg (or) Phorate 10 G 1.0
kg (or) Quinalphos 5 G 2.0 kg
spray Monocrotophos @ 1.6 to 2.2ml/lit to
control insect vector.
14. Management Strategies
Provide rogue spacing of 30 cm to
check vector movement
Spray Phosphamidon 40 SL 1000
ml/ha to control vector Brown Plant
Hopper
R.V: IR26, IR64, IR36, IR56, and IR72
16. Symptom
• The affected plants are stunted due to shortening
of internodes.
• The auxiliary buds are stimulated to grow and the
branches are crowded at the top giving
bushy appearance.
• Mainly three types of symptoms are
associated viz. severe mosaic in leaflets with
complete sterility , mild mosaic with partial
sterility and ring spots characterized by a green
island surrounded by a chlorotic halo.
18. Management
Rouging out infected plants up to 40 days after
sowing
Spraying with Fenazaquin @ 1 ml/ litre soon after
appearance of the disease and if necessary repeat
after 15 days.
20. Symptoms
First symptoms are visible 2-6 weeks after infection
as ring spots on leaves.
The newly emerging leaves are small, rounded or
pinched inwards and varying patterns of mottling
and minute ring spots.
Necrotic spots and irregularly shaped lesions develop
on leaves and petioles. Stem also
exhibits necrotic streaks.
22. Management
Adopt plant spacing of 15x15 cm.
Remove and destory infected plants up to 6 weeks after
sowing.
Application of Monocrotophos 500 ml/ha, 30 days after
sowing either alone or in combination with AVP (Anti Viral
Principle) extracted from sorghum or coconut leaves. Spray
the crop with 10 per cent AVP at 500 lit/ha, ten and twenty
days after sowing.
27. Symptom
• The disease is more prevalent on black gram than green
gram
• Initially mild scattered yellow spots appear on young
leaves.
• The next trifoliate leaves emerging from the growing apex
show irregular yellow and green patches alternating with
each other.
• Spots gradually increase in size and ultimately some leaves
turn completely yellow.
• Infected leaves also show necrotic symptoms.
• Diseased plants are stunted, mature late and produce very
few flowers and pods.
• Pods of infected plants are reduced in size and turn yellow
in colour.

29. Management
Growing resistant varieties such as VBN 4, VBN 6
and VBN 7
Seed treatment with Dimethoate (or) Imidacloprid
@ 5 ml /kg
Installation of yellow sticky traps 12 nos/ha
Rogue out the infected plants up to 45 days
Spray methyl demeton 25 EC 500 ml/ha or
dimethoate 30 EC 500 ml/ha or thiamethoxam 75
WS 1g /3 lit and repeat after 15 days, if necessary.
31. Symptom
All floral parts are transformed into green leafy
structures followed by abundant vein clearing in
different flower parts.
In severe infection, the entire inflorescences is
replaced by short twisted leaves closely arranged on
a stem with short internodes, abundant abnormal
branches bend down.
Finally, plants look like witches broom.
If capsules are formed on lower portion of plant they
do not yield quality seeds.
32.
33. Management
Remove and destroy infected plants.
To control vector, spray Monocrotophos 36 or
Dimethoate 30 EC 500 ml/ha combined with
intercropping of Sesamum + Redgram (6 : 1)
