Home gardening in Sri Lanka Damping-off disease identified in my home garden Okra seedlings
Home gardening in Sri Lanka - Okra cultivation in Home garden. Dear friends today I identified Damping-off disease in my home garden Okra cultivation. This is a fungal disease mainly caused by species of the Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, and Phytophthora. Five days ago, I cultivated okra seeds using five of cultivating bags. Seeds germinated well and two days ago first I saw the Damping-off disease symptoms on Okra seedlings. It spread fast and damaged more plants within a short time period. Fungal diseases very common in the Home garden cultivations in Sri Lanka and need to get precautions to minimize those problems. to control fungal diseases in home garden, soil treatments are most important. You can use fungicides to control soil born fungal diseases.
