Anthracnose

Target Crops: Watermelons, Cucumbers & Mangoes.

Damage

Badly affected leaves turn brown and drop off. If wet weather persists, melon and cucumber fruits develop soft dark spots that become sunken rot spots.

Prevention

  • Proper spacing, so sunlight reaches all the leaves and air circulates freely.
  • Avoid low places with repeated heavy dews when choosing a place to grow melons.
  • Use mulch to keep soil from splashing onto new leaves.
