DAMPING OFF CONTROL
(Phytium sp.)

• The causative pathogens can come from contaminated seed or planting media.
• Wet and humid germination conditions also support pathogen development.
• When seeds start to grow, new roots and shoots are the most vulnerable parts to pathogens.

DAMAGE SYMPTOMS :

• Germination decreases because some seeds are attacked by pathogens and die before growing.
• Seeds that grow with thin stems, wither and fall down and then die.
• There are brown wet spots, either at the base of the stem or shoots, then spread and rot
