Identification Symptoms
- Leaves turn pale and their tips become yellow. Gradually, these
symptoms spread over the entire leaf extending to leaf sheath resulting in
wilting of seedlings.
- The collar portion decays and the entire seedlings die. Infection
spreads in the nursery beds resulting in death of seedlings in small
patches.
- In grown up seedlings, rotting extends from the collar region to
the rhizomes resulting in their decay and ultimate death of the plant
