symptoms

  • The first symptom is the change of spindle leaf colour from green to yellow and then brown.
  • The leaves rot and the growing bud rots causing death of the palm.
  • The affected young leaf whorl can be easily pulled off.
  • The outer leaves also become yellow and droop off one by one leaving a bare stem.

 

Management

  • Remove and destroy affected spindle and leaves
  • In early stages of infection, scoop out affected rotten tissues by making longitudinal side splits and apply Bordeaux paste on the exposed healthy tissues or drench crown with 1% Bordeaux mixture
