Blight (Early or Late)

Identification: Dark, water-soaked spots on leaves, stems, and fruits, leading to rotting.

Symptoms: Rapid leaf yellowing, wilting, and fruit rot.

Control:

  • Copper Fungicide: Use copper-based fungicides to control the spread.

  • Remove Affected Plants: Remove and dispose of infected plants.

  • Crop Rotation: Rotate crops to avoid recurring blight.

  • Mulching: Use mulch to prevent soil-borne fungi from splashing onto plants.
