PWD Control Id Crop ID Pwd Name Pwd Type Causal Agent Symptoms Control Notes Metadata Id

2 Avocado Anthracnose Disease Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Fruit loss Copper sprays are required to produce marketable fruit NULL 8,581
3 Avocado Fruit flies Pest NULL Superficial damage Contact insecticide NULL 8,581
4 Hyacinth Bean Anthracnose Disease Colletotrichum lindemuthianum Cause serious crop losses Spraying with zineb or captan may give reasonable control. NULL 8,624
5 Hyacinth Bean Leaf spot Disease Cercospora dolichi NULL Spraying with fungicides NULL 8,624
6 Hyacinth Bean Pod boring larvae (Adisura atkinsoni) Pest NULL NULL It can be controlled by spraying with Bacillus thuringiensis preparations. NULL 8,624
7 Job's Tear Smut Disease Ustilago coicis It destroys the ovaries. Seed treatment with fungicide or with hot water (60–70°C) for at least 10 minutes before sowing is recommended. NULL 8,625
8 Job's Tear Leaf blight Disease Bipolaris coicis NULL Burning of crop residues, spraying of fungicides and the use of more resistant cultivars. NULL 8,625
9 Job's Tear Tar leaf spot Disease Phyllachora coicis NULL NULL NULL 8,625
10 Job's Tear Rust Disease Puccinia operata NULL NULL NULL 8,625
11 Job's Tear Rats Pest NULL NULL NULL NULL 8,625
12 Job's Tear Birds Pest NULL NULL NULL NULL 8,625
13 Job's Tear Grasshoppers Pest NULL NULL NULL NULL 8,625
14 Job's Tear Termites Pest NULL NULL NULL NULL 8,625
15 Gemsbok Bean (Tylosema esculentum) Fungi Disease Alternaria tenuissima Necrotic lesions NULL NULL 8,626
16 Gemsbok Bean (Tylosema esculentum) Fungi Disease Phoma spp. Necrotic lesions NULL NULL 8,626
17 Niger Seed Ozonium wilt Disease Ozonium texanum var. parasiticum Thirum. Necrotic lesions develop on stem of well grown plants near the soil level. Whitish fungal mycelium grows on these necrotic areas under high humidity and the branches, leaves, inflorescence etc become soft and start rotting. The diseased stem, breaks. Treating the seed with Thiram at the rate of 2 g/kg seed before sowing is quite effective to control the disease. NULL 8,629
18 Niger Seed Collar rot Disease Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. The tissues of collar region become soft and depressed. White fungus grows on the diseased part and forms mustard seed like sclerotia. NULL NULL 8,629
19 Niger Seed Macrophomina root and stem rot Disease Macrophomina phaseolina (Maubl.) Ashby Typical root rot, stem rot, charcoal rot and leaf blight symptoms are produced. Macrophomina infected roots are light blackish to black in colour, which are covered with black sclerotia and are brittle. The blackening extends from ground level upward on the stem giving black colour to stem. Deep ploughing in summer, crop rotation, seed treatment with thiram (0.2%) + Carbendazim (0.1%), application of Trichoderma viride @ 2.5 kg/ha mixing with 50 kg FYM in the field before sowing. NULL 8,629
20 Niger Seed Damping off/root rot Disease Rhizoctonia solani The fungus attacks stem of the seedling at ground level, makes water soaked soft and incapable of supporting the seedling which falls over and dies. On older seedlings elongated brownish black lesions appear. The seed should be treated with Thiram or Captan @3.0 g/kg seed. The disease can also be reduced by drenching the plants with Captan 50 WP @0.25% and crop rotation should be followed. NULL 8,629
