Asexual Reproduction
© http://www.biologydiscussion.com
Symptoms
• Leaves turn pale, tips become yellow. Gradually, these symptoms spread over the
entire leaf extending to leaf sheath resulting in wilting of seedlings.
• The collar portion decays and the entire seedlings die.
• Infection spreads in the nursery beds resulting in death of seedlings in small
patches.
• In grown up seedlings, rotting extends from the collar region to the rhizomes
resulting in their decay and ultimate death of the plant
Symptoms

Survival and Spread
• It spreads to rhizomes and roots.
• Seed, soil and water.
Favourable Conditions
• High humidity, high soil moisture, cloudiness and low temperatures below
24° C for few days are ideal for infection and development of disease.
• Crowded seedlings, dampness due to high rainfall, poor drainage and
excess of soil solutes hamper plant growth and increase the pathogenic
damping-off.
• Cool and moist conditions due to rain or show at higher elevation .
Management
 Destruction of diseased clumps and provide proper drainage
 Changing the nursery site and avoid crowding
 Soil drenching with one percent bordeaux mixture or copper oxychloride 0.25 % at one-
month interval has been reported.
 Pre-treatment of nursery beds with fomaldehyde @ 0.2%.
 Fungicides such as mancozeb and brassicol (PCNB) were effective for disease control.
