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.
