◦ DISEASES OF HORTICULTURAL CROPS
AND THEIR MANAGEMENT.
Black Spot of Rose
Powdery Mildew of Rose
Die-Back of Rose
Caused by :- Diplocarpon rosae
(Anamorph :- Marssonina rosae)
◦ Kingdom :- Mycota
◦ Division:- Eumycota
◦ Sub- Division :- Deuteromycotina
◦ Class :- Coelomycetes
◦ Order :- Melanconiales
◦ Family :- Melanconiaceae
◦ The disease causes marked reduction in the size and
number of flowers.
Black lesions with feathery margins
surrounded by yellow tissue are found on the
leaves.
Infected leaves drop prematurely.
Purple/red bumpy areas on first year canes
may be evident.
Plants may be weakened due to defoliation
and reduced flower production may be
observed.
Pycnidia or ascospores in infected plant
debris.
The fungal spores are spread primarily by
splashing rain or water.
Germination of the spores and infection occur
when free water remains on the leaf surface
for a period of 6 hours or longer.
Leaf spots develop within 5 to 10 days.
Affected parts should be collected and
destroyed
Spray Tridemorph @0.025% or Benomyl
@0.1% at weekly intervals starting with the
sprouting of the plants till new foliage
appears.
Shade and extensive irrigation should be
avoided.
Resistant varieties: Bebe Bune, Coronado,
Grand opera, Sphinx.
Radiance - escape infection due to waxy surface
Caused by :-Sphaerotheca pannosa var.rosae
◦ Kingdom :- Mycota
◦ Division:- Eumycotina
◦ Sub-division :- Ascomycotina
◦ Class :- Leotiomycetes
◦ Order :- Erysiphales
◦ Family :- Erysiphaceae
The infected leaves show greyish powdery
fungal growth.
Rolling of leaf margins with the onset of
sprouting season.
Affected leaves become curled and
distorted.
Badly infected flower buds fail to open.
Infected floral parts become discoloured,
dwarfed and dried.
The fungus over winters as mycelium in
dormant buds and shoots which are not
entirely killed.
Either conidia or ascospores serve as
primary inoculum.
The secondary spread is through wind
borne conidia.
Collect and destroy infected plant debris.

[email protected]% at 10
days interval.
Resistant varieties:- Ashwini, Ambika,
Angeles, American pride, Surabhi
Caused by:-Botryodiplodia theobromae
◦ Kingdom :- Mycota
◦ Division :- Eumycotina
◦ Sub-division :- Deuteromycotina
◦ Class :- Coelomycetes
◦ Order :- Sphaeropsidales
◦ Family :- Sphaeropsidaceae
Infection starts from the pruned surface of
the twigs.
The infected portion become brown to dark
brown or black.
Infected twig dries from tip downwards.
Infection spreads from twig to main stem and
roots and finally whole plant is killed.
Older plants and neglected bushes are more
frequently attacked.
The fungus persists in dead twigs and the
stalks of the withered blooms.
Pycnidia present in them become source for
primary inoculation.
Conidia are transferred through irrigation
water.
Diseased twigs should be carefully removed
and destroyed.
After pruning the cut end should be
protected with chaubattia paste.
Spray

late October.
Resistant varieties: Blue moon, Red gold,
Summer queen, etc.
