2. WHY TO KNOW ABOUT
PLANT DISEASES
CAUSE HUGE LOSSES - QUANTIY (YIELD)
- QUALITY (GRADE)
Happy life -------------PLANT DISEASE-------------Hunger / Famine
INCREASE COST OF CULTIVATION
RESISTANT VAREITY: LESS PROFITABLE
SPRAY: CHEMICALS, MACHINES, ETC.
STORAGE LOSS: REFIGERATION/ TRANSPORTATION
EARLY SELL: LOW PRICE
HANDLING: DISEASED SEPARATE FROM HEALTHY
MAKE SUSCEPTIBLE TO OTHER DISEASES

11. BAD EFFECTS OF PESTICIDES
• Insects, pathogens, weeds become
tolerant
• Resurgence of pests, diseases, weeds
• Harmful to beneficial organisms, e.g.,
pollinating insects, parasites predators
• Loss of biodiversity esp. vulnerable spp.
• Health hazards: carcinogenic, mutagen,
damage to embryo, ozone layer (10%)
12. Ecofriendly Approaches
• Biological control , e.g., Trichoderma,
Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Beauvaria,
Paciolomyces
• Crop rotation : success in hooghly wilt,
reduced from 42 % to 1 %, Rice – jute –
potato
• Transgenic plants: successful Bt cotton,
still a dream in jute crop, be an optimist
13. BIOCONTROL THROUGH NEEM
Botanical insecticides, e.g.,
neem: from leaf and seed,
avoid, antifedant, moulting
hampered, compatible with
biocides
15. Jute semilooper
Anomis sabulifera G
The insect appears during the onset of
monsoon.
• Feed voraciously on the top tender leaves of
the plant.
• In case of severe infestation the green pods
and soft stems are also damaged by the
pest.
19. Indigo caterpillar
Laphygma exigua
* Lepidopteran pest is polyphagous.
* It attacks jute in seedling stage.
* The top leaves are folded together by
the caterpillars and damage the tender
leaves in early stage.
* After thinning of jute seedlings the
severity of attack reduces considerably.
23. Jute Apion: Apion corchori M
• The adult females lay eggs inside the stem
tissues
• They make a hard black tissue circle
which makes knotty fibre or bad quality
fibre.
26. JUTE APION ATTACKED JUTE PLANT
SIDE BRANCHES ARE FORMED DUE TO THE APION ATTACK
27. Yellow mite
Polyphagotarsonemus latus B
• The young leaves are crumpled and leaf
lamina curl backward along the midrib.
• Leaf lamina become coppery green with
huge population of tiny mites, visible with
magnifying glass.
• Cloudy weather with high humidity and rise
in morning temperature is congenial
atmosphere for mite incidence in the field.
• High rainfall suppresses the mite population.
29. Red mite: Oligonychus coffeae N
• The polyphasous pest is very much
destructive in nature.
• The older leaves of jute are attacked by the
pest.
• The infested leaves turn yellow, become
leathery and finally drop prematurely.
• The warm, humid climate with a span of
drought for few days increases the mite
population the field.
31. Jute hairy caterpillar :
Spilosoma obliqua Walk
• The polyphagus caterpillar feeds
voraciously on the leaves, soft stem and
green pods.
• During early stage, they are gregarious on
leaves
• They may be destroyed by mechanical
means simply by picking and dipping in
kerosene oil and water.
41. Grey-weevil
Myllocerus discolor Bosh
• The attack of grey weevil is restricted
to top tender leaves of olitorius jute.
• Generally 5-6 weeks old plants are
attacked by this pest.
44. Root knot nematode
Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica
* Wide range of hosts.
* The galls are white globular swellings in roots
due to penetration of larvae
* Translocation of water and nutrients blocked
* Plants shows yellowing and stunted growth
* Sometimes predispose the plant to root rot and
wilt infection.
45. Root knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.)
C. capsularis C. olitorius
Extent of damage : 15 – 20 %
48. DISEASES OF JUTE
Stem rot: Macrophomina phaseolina
Hooghly wilt: Ralstonia solanacearum
(Ps. solanacearum)
Anthracnose: Colletotrichum corchorum
and C. gloeosporioides

49. STEM ROT
MACROPHOMINA PHASEOLINA
• Most serious disease of jute
• Frequent epiphytotics occurs in almost all
jute growing areas
• It damages both Olitorius and Capsularis
varieties
• Extent of damage depends on rainfall
pattern, soil temperature and soil moisture
• More in acid soil with pH below 5.8 and K
deficiency
50. SYMPTOMS OF STEM ROT
MACROPHOMINA PHASEOLINA
• Damping off: New seedlings rot
above and below soil
• Seedling blight: Cotyledons turn
brown to black and seedlings die
• Stem rot: Dark brown lesion on
stem may extend up to 10 - 15 cm
or higher, extend vertically or
horizontally, plants wilt or break
62. OTHER SYMPTOMS OF STEM ROT
* Collar rot: Brown discolouration on the
stem at soil level
• Necrotic wounds develop at the ground level
• If plant survives, adventitious roots develop
above infected portion
* Root rot: Plants wilt, defoliate and stand
as naked stem and finally die
• Root are rotten and brown in colour, rootlets
absent
• Stem turns dark brown to black.
63. ANTHRACNOSE
* It came to Dhaka through Infected
seeds from south east Asia during
1930s unknowingly
* Then from Dhaka to other parts of
Bangladesh
* It later entered India through Assam
* Continuous rain and high RH and
temperature around 35 oC+ are
congenial
64. ANTHRACNOSE OF CAPSULARIS JUTE
Colletotrichum corchorum
Symptoms
* Causes considerable damage to fibre yield and quality.
* On seedlings it appears on leaf and stem as
brownish spot and streaks following drying
up of the entire stem.
* On stem irregular spots, may coalesce, cause
deep necrosis, girdle stem and cracks and
expose the fibre.
*These turns to brownish depressed spots.
Depressed spots are seen on pods also.
* Infected seeds are lighter in colour,
shrunken and germination is poor.
65. ANTHRACNOSE OF OLITORIUS JUTE
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides
• Appears at very later stage (Mid July – Sept.).
• Consequently damage is lesser than
capsularis.
• Brown to black sodden spot appear on stem.
• Depth of spot is less.
• Limited to only 1 – 2 cell layer deep below
epidermis.
• The fungus does not touch fibre layer.
• Slows the plant growth and less yield.
68. • First observed in 1950s in Tarakeswar of
Hooghly district
• Later in Howrah, Nadia, North 24
Parganas, Burdwan, etc.
• Where jute crop if followed by potato
• Very serious disease of Olitorius jute
during 1970 – 80
• Even up to 40 % plants were infected
Hooghly wilt
69. Hooghly wilt
Ralstonia (Pseudomonas) solanacearum
M. phaseomina and M. incognita facilitate
entry of the bacteria
Symptoms:
Wilting of leaves starts from the base
upwards
Affected stems are soft
Slimy fluid comes out on slight pressing
Ooze test positive
72. Black Band
Minor disease earlier but gradually fast
spreading
Now incidence is quiet high
Affects both species of jute
Causes serious damage in older crops
from July onwards
Often no fibre and seed may be obtained
73. Black Band
Botryodiplodia theobromae
Symptoms
Blackish brown lesion, darker than stem rot
Spots enlarge and girdle the stem, withering of
apical and side branches
Plants defoliate, turn brown to black and stand
as dry stick
Stem breaks at the point of infection and the
plants die
On rubbing with finger on the spots profuse black
sooty powdery mass of spores adhere to the fingers
which is not found in stem rot
Crops raised from infected seeds show sedling blight
symptoms
76. SOFT ROT
Sclerotium rolfsii
It first grows on fallen leaves of jute
From there it infects stem base
Attack begins when the crop is 80 – 90 days
old
High rainfall, low sun shine, high plant
population favours soft rot
Minor disease earlier but gradually fast
spreading
77. SOFT ROT
Sclerotium rolfsii
Symptoms
Soft, brown wet patch on the stem base
Skin peels off and exposed fibre layers turns
rusty brown and plants wilt
White cottony mycellial growth
Brown mustard seed like sclerotia are seen at
the site of infection
It decreases if fallen leaves are destroyed
78. SOFT ROT OF JUTE
White cottony
mycellial growth
81. MOSAIC : VIRUS
• Gradual mottling of leaves with various
patterns of yellow and green
• Crinkling of lamina
• Stunted growth of plant
• Plant may die
• The geminivirus is graft transmissible and
also carried through seed
• White fly Bemisia sp acts as the vector.
83. MANAGEMENT OF JUTE MOSAIC : VIRUS
• White fly Bemisia sp acts as the vector
• To check the vector spraying of
–methyl dematon (Metasystox) @ 1.5
ml per litre of water or
–dimethoate (Dimecron) @ 1.0 ml per
litre of water or
–Endosulfan (Thiodan / Hildan) @ 1.5 –
2.0 ml per litre of water
–malathion @ 1.5 – 2.0 ml per litre of
water
84. MINOR DISEASES OF JUTE
Physoderma spot
(Physoderma corchori)
Tip blight
(Curvularia subulata)
Corynespora leaf spot
(Corynespora cassicola)
Powdery mildew (Oidium sp)
Die back (Diplodia corchori)
86. INTEGRATED PEST
MANAGEMENT
• UNCED (1992) at Rio de Janeiro
identified IPM in agriculture as
one of prime requirements for
promoting sustainable
agriculture and development
87. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
• Can provide food security
• Reduce crop loss
• Promote self reliance by farmer
participatory approach
• Contribute poverty alleviation by focusing
on small and marginal farmers
• Protect environment and health by
reducing chemical inputs
• Conserve biodiversity
88. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
• According to FAO panel of experts (1968),
• IPM has been defined as “pest management
system that in the context of associated
environment and pest population dynamics of
pest species, it utilizes all suitable techniques
and methods in as compatible manner as
possible and maintains the pest population
below those causing economic injury.”
• It is not a simply juxtaposition or superimposition
of two control techniques but integration of all
management techniques (such as, chemical and
biological controls) with the natural regulating
and limiting elements of the environment.
89. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
• IRRI (1985) defined IPM as “a
strategy or plan that utilizes
various tactics or control
measures – cultural, plant
resistance, biological, and
chemical – in a harmonious
way.”
90. • Keep pests numbers below harmful
(ET) level instead of eradication
• Protect and conserve the environment
including biodiversity
• Make plant protection feasible, safe and
economical even for the smaller
farmers
INTEGRATED PEST
MANAGEMENT
91. 3 Es of IPM
• HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
•ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE
•ECOLOGICALLY SOUND
93. OBJECTIVES OF IDM IN JUTE
• NO TO COMPLETE ELIMINATION OF
PESTS AND PATHOGENS
• TO KEEP THE POPULATION BELOW
ECONOMIC THRESHOLD LEVEL
• SAFE TO ENVIRONMENT
94. CONCEPT OF IDM IN JUTE
• ITS NOT A SINGULAR METHOD
APPROACH
• FROM SOWING TO HARVESTING
JUDICIOUS COMBINATION OF ALL
AVAILABLE MEASURES OF
MANAGEMENT
• COEXISTENCE OF CROP AND PESTS
AND PATHOGENS AT BELOW ETL
• NO CHEMICAL HARMFUL TO
ENVIRONMENT
95. • More efficient and low cost method of
control
• Does not upset the balance of nature
• Delays the development of resistance
• Minimizes the residue hazards of
pesticides
ADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATED
PEST MANAGEMENT
96. TEEHNIQUES OF INTEGRATED
PEST MANAGEMENT
• Good Agricultural Practice (GAP)
• Integrated Crop Management (ICM)
• For sustainable agriculture IPM must be a
component of GAP or ICM.
• It includes profitable management of crop
with respect to environment.
• It is a dynamic system suitated to local
soil, climate and economic conditions.
97. FIVE CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF
PEST POPULATION MANAGEMENT
• Identification of major insect pests according to
their national and international importance.
• Immediate objective is to bring down the pest
attack below economic injury level.
• Application of IPM tactics which will not hamper
the natural way of pest management.
• The effect of pest control measure should be long
lasting effect without any side effect.
• The philosophy is to bring down the pest
population rather than to attempt to eliminate it .
101. IDM STRATEGY IN JUTE
• SELECTION OF LAND: Medium to high
land, sandy loam soil
• ACIDITY OF SOIL: For soil with pH below
5.8 and K deficiency, apply 2 – 4 tonnes /ha
of lime or gypsum one month before
sowing.
• SELECTION OF VARIETY: JRO 524, JRO
66, JRO 8432. Less stem rot on JRO 32 in
Barrackpore, Coochbehar and Katihar than
JRO 524. JRO 524 is less affected in
Singur areas.
102. • SEED: Use preferably certified seed or
pathogen free healthy seed,
• Seed health testing: Seed lot with more than
15 % infection of anthracnose is unfit for
sowing, even after seed treatment.
• Clean cultivation: Destruction of stubbles,
summer ploughing, soil solarization with
ploythene sheet raises inside temp. by 10 oC
and kills pathogens
• Spacing: Row 25 – 30 cm and plant 5 – 6 cm
by thinning
• Drainage: Poorly drained soil attract more
disease
IDM STRATEGY IN JUTE
103. Weeding: Weeds are hosts of pathogens.
Stem rot, soft rot and Hooghly wilt have
wide host range.
Sowing time: Mid March to mid April, but
late sown jute suffers from less stem rot
Fertilizer: Balanced, NPK: (30+15+15):30:30
Organic manure: FYM or compost 7 – 8
tonnes /ha before sowing
Crop rotation: Jute – rice – rice / wheat/
mustard / winter vegetables except solanaceous,
like, potato, brinjal, tomato.
IDM STRATEGY IN JUTE
104. • Killing of pathogens with other living
organism
• Kills by competition, mycoparasitism and
antibiosis (toxin or enzymes)
• PROCESS: Biocontrol agents are isolated
from nature, tested on pathogens in lab,
mass cultured on cheap media, tested
viability and then applied in field.
• Examples in jute: Fungi –Trichoderma
spp., Aspergillus niger,
• PGPR – Promotes plant growth,
suppresses disease, e.g., Fluorescent
Pseudomonas
BIOLOGICAL CONTROL
112. SEED TREATMENT
• Carbendazim (Bavistin 50 WP;
JK Stein 50 WP; Derosal) @ 2.0
g /kg seed
• Mancozeb (Indofil M 45,
Dithane M 45) @ 5.0 g /kg seed
• Trichoderma harzianum, T.
viride @ 10.0 g/kg seed
113. Weed Management
• Weed composition: grassy weed 92 %;
hedges 6 % and rest broad leaved
• May incur loss up to 70 %
• May involve 30 - 35 % of total cost of jute
cultivation
114. Methods of Weed Management
• Pre plant application of trifluraline
(Dinitroanelene) @ 1.0 kg a.i./ha 01day before
sowing may kill all grasses and broad leaved
weeds and save Rs. 4000 – 5000 /ha.
• Post emergence spray of quizalofop ethyl
(Targa super 1.5 – 2.0 ml + Dhanuvit 1.0 ml
per litre water at 21 – 25 DAS may kill all
grasses and broad leaved weeds and save
Rs. 3000 – 4000 /ha.
• Hand weeding: costly, effective, labourious
• Mixed cropping with red amaranth or
summer radish and gives addl yield
• Mulching with paddy straw in between rows
115.
116. INSECTS PEST MANAGENT
WHEN DAMAGE IS MORE THAN 10 %
• Spray Nimerin @ 3 – 4 ml / litre of water
with B. bassiana
In case of high infestation
• Spray endosulfan (Thiodan 35 EC) @ 2 ml
/ litre of water
• Spray chloropyriphos (Dursban) @ 2 ml /
litre of water
• Spray imidachloprid @ 1 ml / 5 litre of
water
• For spraying one acre jute crop 200 litres
of water is required

119. Few tips
• Keep regular vigil on the crop
• Spray the infected portion only instead of
whole crop, to conserve natural enemies
120. Birds as friends: predators of
Lepidopteran pests
Birds as friends: Good provision for sitting of birds around the fields;
predators of lepidopteran pests, lower the population
121. LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST
Prevention is
always better
than cure.
