| PWD Control Id | Crop ID | Pwd Name | Pwd Type | Causal Agent | Symptoms | Control | Notes | Metadata Id |
| 21 | Niger Seed | Cercospora leaf spot | Disease | Cercospora guizoticola | Disease appears as small straw to brown coloured spots with grey centre on the leaves, spots may coalesce causing defoliation. Later the spots increase in number and size and cover the entire lamina and the leaves start dropping off. Elongated dark brown spotsare produced on the stem. The capsules are also affected. | Seed treatment with two foliar sprays of Carbendazim 50WP (0.2%) + Mancozeb (0.1%) can manage the disease. | NULL | 8,629 |
| 22 | Niger Seed | Alternaria leaf spot/blight | Disease | Alternaria sp. | The disease appears as concentric rings on the leaves, which turns brown with grey centre later on. As the disease advances, the spots become oval or circular and irregular in shape. The infected leaves become dry and lead to the defoliation. Further it, spreads to other plant parts and results in to premature drying of the plant. | Use of resistant varieties. | NULL | 8,629 |
| 23 | Niger Seed | Curvularia leaf spot | Disease | Curvularia lunata | Small circular to irregular brown to reddish brown spots which later coalesce to form larger spots. The leaf turn yellow dries and defoliates. | NULL | NULL | 8,629 |
| 24 | Niger Seed | Powdery mildew | Disease | Sphaerotheca spp. | The diseased leaves turn yellow and drop off. The seed formed on diseased plants are small and shriveled. | The disease can be managed by burning the infected plant parts after the harvesting of the crop. The disease can also be effectively controlled by spraying with sulfex. | NULL | 8,629 |
| 25 | Niger Seed | Rust | Disease | Puccinia guizotiae | Brown pustules diameter appear on the leaves. The lesions consist of densely aggregated brown telio. The uredosori are formed on the lower leaf surface and the corresponding upper surface becomes chlorotic. Later teliospores are formed. | The disease can be managed by spraying crop with Dithane M- 45 as the disease starts appearing. | NULL | 8,629 |
| 26 | Niger Seed | Bacterial leaf spot | Disease | Xanthomonas campestris pv. guizotiae | Small brownish spots are formed on leaves which are surrounded by yellow halo. | The disease can be managed by spraying the crop with Blitox-50. | NULL | 8,629 |
| 27 | Niger Seed | Weed dodder (Cuscuta hyalina) | Weed | NULL | The plants remain stunted, pale yellow and bear a very small number of flowers and fruits. | The Cuscuta seeds can be removed by sieving before sowing. Removal of cuscuta infected Niger seed at the early crop growth. | NULL | 8,629 |
| 28 | Chinese Spinach | Stemrot | Disease | Choanephora cucurbitarum | NULL | A wider spacing may reduce the rate of infection. | NULL | 8,631 |
| 29 | Chinese Spinach | Damping-off | Disease | Pythium and Rhizoctonia | NULL | It is controlled by good drainage. Over-dense sowing should be avoided. | NULL | 8,631 |
| 30 | Chinese Spinach | White rust | Disease | Albugo bliti | NULL | NULL | NULL | 8,631 |
| 31 | Chinese Spinach | Leaf and stem blight | Disease | Phomopsis amaranthophila | NULL | NULL | NULL | 8,631 |
| 32 | Chinese Spinach | Caterpillars (Hymenia recurvalis, Spodoptera litura, Heliothis armigera) | Pest | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 8,631 |
| 33 | Chinese Spinach | Larvae of the stem borer (Lixus truncatulus) | Pest | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 8,631 |
| 34 | Jicama Yam Bean | Mosaic virus | Disease | Aphids (Aphis spp.) or mealy bugs (Ferrisia virgata) and possibly by seed. | It results in smaller-sized tubers (yield reductions of 20-30%), discoloured leaves and brittle stems. | NULL | NULL | 8,632 |
| 35 | Jicama Yam Bean | Witches' broom disease | Disease | Contamination originating in the indigenous flora. | NULL | NULL | NULL | 8,632 |
| 36 | Teff | Leaf rust | Disease | Uromyces eragrostidis | NULL | Fungicides that control these two diseases have been identified at experimental level, although there are no known cases of field applications. | NULL | 8,628 |
| 37 | Jicama Yam Bean | Rose beetle (Adoretus versutus) | Pest | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 8,632 |
| 38 | Teff | Head smudge | Disease | Helminthosporium miyakei | NULL | Fungicides that control these two diseases have been identified at experimental level, although there are no known cases of field applications. | NULL | 8,628 |
| 39 | Jicama Yam Bean | Bruchids (Bruchus spp.) | Pest | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 8,632 |
| 40 | Teff | Damping off | Disease | Drechslera spp. and Epicoccum nigrum | NULL | Fungicides that control these two diseases have been identified at experimental level, although there are no known cases of field applications. | NULL | 8,628 |
