usually around 15°C .
• Gray mold can be particularly damaging when
rainy, drizzly weather continues over several
days.
Life cycle:
Management :
• Proper spacing.
• Remove diseased parts.
• Spray carbendazim(Bavistin) @0.1% before the onset
of cyclonic rains.
• Based on weather forecast followed by second spray
soon after rains have receded.
Foliage Blight
Causal organism: Phytophthora spp
Symptoms
• Water soaked irregular pale green lesion appear
mostly near tips and margins of leaves
• Lesion rapidly grow into large and become brown to
purplish black necrotic spots.
• During morning hours a white mildew consists of
sporangia and sporangiophores of the pathogen can
be seen on the corresponding lower surface of the
leaf spot.
• Light to dark brown lesion appear on stems or
petioles that elongate and encircle the stem.
• Affected stems or petioles become week at the
infection and may collapse.
• Entire crop gives blackened blighted appearance and
may be killed within a week.
Etiology
• Mycelium coenocytic produce lemon shaped
detachable, papillate sporangia on sympodially
branched sporangiophores of indeterminate growth.
• Reproduce mainly through asexual spore-zoospore&
sexual by oospore
Epidemology
• Sporangia production starts with in 8hrs at100% RH
+18-200C
• Zoospores production by sporangia starts with in
30min at120 C
• Zoospores disseminated by splashing rain drops.
• Zoospores produce germ tube and appresoria in
presence of free water and
• Penetrate within 2-21/2 hr at 10-25 0 C.
• Subsequent development disease symptom develop
a t17-250C
Sources of inoculum
• Infected plants
• Oospores present in soil.
• Volunteer host plants
• Alternate host plant
• Fungicides: Metalaxyl+Mancozeb
• Cymoxamil+Mancozeb
• Antagonistic microorganisms – Trichoderma viride
• Penicillium viridicatum
• Pseudomonas syringae
• Cultural methods:
 Minimising irrigation after disease appear
 Use of disease free seeds and sedlings.
 Elimination of crop debris of earlier crop
CERCOSPORA LEAF SPOT
•Symptoms appear predominantly as red-brown to
grey leaf spot.
•Lesions intially form on lower surface of leaves
•Lesions may coalesce as disease advances with
adjacent lesions resulting in severe blighting of the
entire leaf
•Leaves falling occur in severe case.
SYMPTOMS

Inter cellular mycelia and
intracellular haustoria.
Asexual spores- whip like
conidia on conidiophores,

Pseudothecium
Vegetative structure is
dormant mycelia.
SCORING:
Disease severity on the plant was estimated visually on a
scale of 0-5,
where,
0= no disease
1=up to 3% coverage
2=up to 10%
3=up to 30%

• Species: Tomato spotted wilt virus.
MANAGEMENT
• Inspect plants for virus symptoms prior to purchase.

• Avoid planting near vegetable gardens, as many
vegetables are also susceptible.
• Controlling weeds is also essential because many
weeds can harbor both thrips and the virus
• Select disease free seed.
• Rouging and eradication of infected plants.
• Regular infection and removal of severely infected
plants.
