Cultural Management
1. Remove and burn the infected plant debris in the soil after deep summer ploughing.
2. Apply increased doses of potash with a balanced dose of nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilizers.
3. Apply heavy doses of farm yard manure or other organic manures at 10 t/ha. Follow mixed cropping with non-host plants to lower the soil temperature below 200C by providing shade.
4. Soil amendment with zinc.
