Brinjal Diseases
Collar Rot
Symptoms
- The disease occasionally occurs in serious form.
- The lower portion of the stem is affected from the soil borne inoculum (sclerotia).
- Decortications is the main symptom.
- Exposure and necrosis of underlying tissues may lead to collapse of the plant.
- Near the ground surface on the stem may be seen the mycelia and sclerotia.
- Lack of plant vigour, accumulation of water around the stem, and mechanical injuries help in development of this disease.
Management
- Seed treatment with 4 g of Trichoderma viride formulation per kg seed will help in reducing the disease.
- Spraying with Mancozeb @ 2g/Litre of water.
- Collection and destruction of diseased parts and portions of the plant.
