Diseases
Disease Symptoms & Control Measures
Pin Rot Fungal Spots on leaves looks target board appearance, at high rain fall infection spread to curd cause pin rot and completing rotting of curds.
Control : Fluxapyroxad 250 G/L + Pyraclostrobin 250 G/L SC 0.3 ml/L
Soft Rot Its bacterial disease characterised by rotting of curds at excess moisture.
Control : Avoid water logging, prophylactic spray of Copper Oxy Chloride 50% Wp + K Cycline (2.5g + 0.5g/L)
Black Rot Its bacterial disease characterised by yellowish spots on leaf margin looks V shape , gradually spreads cause burning of leaves.
Control : spray of Copper Oxy Chloride 50% Wp + K Cycline (2.5g + 0.5g/L)
Down Mildew Small brownish spots on leaves, on lower surface whitish powdery mass observed at cloudy weather, cause defoliation Spray: Fenamidone 10% + mancozeb 505 WG (2.5g/L) Metiram 55% + Pyraclostrobn 5% WG (2g/L)
Pests
Name of the Pest Symptoms & Management
DBM DBM causes damages to leaves by making wholes on leaves cause severe damage
Control : Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC (0.3ml/L) Spinosad 45% SC (0.15ml/L)
Loopers Veracious eaters on leaf
Control : Chlorphyriphs 50% + Cypermethrin 5% w/w (2ml/L), Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG (1g/L)
Aphids Suck the sap from leaves cause leaf distortion
Control : Acephate 20 SP% ( 1g/L)
Harvesting Harvesting starts from 60- 65 days after transplanting. Average curd weight at the time of harvest is 350-400 g
Yield 10-12 t/ha
Parameter Description
Zoning Alternate dark and light colour rings are formed on the beet root. Zoning occurs due to high temperature or irregular supply of moisture.
Anthocyanin Pigmentation in green broccoli curds disfigures appearance due to high temperature. Controlled by using tolerant hybrids.
Bracting Unwanted leafy growth on curds due to high temperature and low moisture. Controlled by using tolerant hybrids.
Hollow Stem Presence of cavities within the broccoli stem. Controlled by avoiding excess irrigation and nitrogen; apply boron @ 25 kg/ha.
Cat Eye Some florets on the curd break into yellow or green flower buds, resulting in uneven bead size and colour. Caused by temperature and irrigation fluctuations. Controlled by avoiding excess irrigation.
Brown Beads Brown, small, undeveloped flower buds on the broccoli head due to high temperature, excess moisture, and calcium deficiency. Controlled by avoiding excess irrigation and applying Calcium Nitrate @ 50 kg/ha.
