4. Disease
Damping off of Chillies
Damping off is very common disease in
nurseries. The disease appears
immediately after the onset of monsoon
rains. Seed may rot or the seedlings may
be killed before they emerge from the
soil. Stem of young seedlings may also
be attacked after emergence showing
water soaking lesions and shriveling of
stem which fall over and die. In nursery
the disease may appear in patches in 2-4
days, the entire lot of seedling may be
destroyed.
5. Disease
Damping off of Cabbage
The disease causes severe damage in
the nursery. Cool, cloudy weather, high
humidity, wet soils, compacted soil, and
overcrowding especially favor
development of damping-off. Damping-
off kills seedlings before or soon after
they emerge. Infection before seedling
emergence results in poor germination. If
the decay is after seedlings emergence,
they fall over or die which is referred to as
"damp-off." The destructiveness of the
disease depends on the amount of
p a t h o g e n i n t h e s o i l a n d o n
environmentalconditions.
6. Disease
Damping off of Tomato
Healthy young tomato plants infected by
damping-off disease look pinched or cut
off at the base of the stem. They wilt,
droop over, wither away, and die. A white
mold-like growth may appear on the soil
surface and on the dead plants. seeds rot
in the soil or seedlings decay before they
push through the soil. seedlings sprout,
but then pale, curl, wilt, or collapse at the
soil line. The stem is water-soaked and
turns gray, brown or black before
disintegrating.
7. Disease
Damping off of Tobacco
Healthy young tomato plants infected by
damping-off disease look pinched or cut
off at the base of the stem. They wilt,
droop over, wither away, and die. A white
mold-like growth may appear on the soil
surface and on the dead plants. seeds rot
in the soil or seedlings decay before they
push through the soil. seedlings sprout,
but then pale, curl, wilt, or collapse at the
