Symptoms


  • The grains may be infected by various organisms before or after harvesting causing discolouration, the extend of which varies according to season and locality.

  • Dark brown or black spots appear on the grains.
  • The discolouration may be red, yellow, orange, pink or black, depending upon the organism involved and the degree of infection.
  • This disease is responsible for quantitative and qualitative losses of grains.
