Fusarium

IMPORTANCE:
CAUSAL ORGANISM: Fusarium udum (host specific)
Destructive in parts of Maharashtra, m.p., u.p.(8.2%) & Bihar (18.3%)
Incidence maximum at: flowering & pod formation
Nematode: Heterodera cajani & root knot nematodes
Also known as GREEN PLAGUE of pigeon pea

Causal organism (etiology)
• Anamorph: Fusarium udum
• Teleomorph: Gibberella indica
• Confined to vascular tissues
• Inter & intra cellular
• Mycelium: hyaline, septate hyphae
• 3 types of spores: micro conidia, macro conidia, chlamydospores
SPORES & SURVIVAL STRUCTURE

Micro conidia

Macro conidia

chlamydospores
DISEASE CYCLE
 FAVOURABLE CONDITIONS

 Soil borne
 Survival on: plant debris (3 yrs.)
 Primary inoculum: infected seeds
(Haware & Kannaiyan,1992)
 Secondary inoculum: conidia
 High biomass
 MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

 Resistant cultivars: ICPL 87, C11 (wilt,

sterility mosaic & Phytophthora blight)
 Crop rotation
 Field sanitation
 Green manuring
 Bacillus subtillis (bulbiformin)
PIGEON PEA STERILITY MOSAIC

IMPORTANCE:

• 1st reported in 1931(Pusa, Bihar)

• GREEN PLAGUE
• More loss at early stages(95-100%)
• Max. infection in ratooned & perennial
pigeon pea
• SMD predisposes plants to powdery
mildew & infestation by spider mite
 Bushy &
pale green
Chlorotic

SYMPTOMS

Severe

 CAUSAL ORGANISM
• Pigeon pea sterility mosaic emaravirus1 & Pigeon pea sterility
mosaic emaravirus2
• Family: Fimoviridae
• Order: Bunyavirales
• Vector: eriophyid mite (Aceria cajani)- semi-persistent manner
• Highly specific (C.cajan, C.cajanifolius, C.scarabaeoides)
• Segmented, ssRNA,
• Not seed transmitted
Aceria cajani
(eriophyid
mite)
 Aceria Not
cajani transmitted
by sap

Retention
pd. 12-
13hrs. Disease Eggs of
cycle mite do not
transmit
 FAVOURABLE CONDITIONS

Temp:10
SHADE & ℃-35℃
HUMIDITY

Perennial,
volunteer &
Intermixing ratooned
with
sorghum or pigeon pea
millets
 MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

 Resistant Cultivar: BSMR

736 (Gulbarga isolate),
Sabour 2E, ICPL-
146,PANT A-104, Sehore
367
 Tolerant: ICPL-151
 Avoid ratooning (destroy
perennial & ratoon crop)
 Rogue out infected plants.
 Spray acaricides (Kelthane,
Tedion @ 1ml/ Litre water)
