Symptoms

• The pathogen affects leaves, stem, pods and seeds.
• Symptoms of the disease first appear on the leaves of seed stem in the form of small, yellowish, slightly raised lesions.
• Lesions appear later on the stems and seed pods. Infection spreads rapidly during rainy weather, and the entire pod may be so infected that the styler end becomes black and shrivelled.
• The fungus penetrates in pod tissues, ultimately infecting the seeds. The infected seed fails to germinate.

Management

• Spraying with Mancozeb 0.25 %
