Crop Protection — Garlic Phdiseases 3
- A blue-green color powdery mould is observed on cloves in soil and in storage, thus its common name, “Blue Mold”
- Air-borne spores spread the disease
- Infection first occurs on wounds sustained when cloves are separated from the parent bulb
- Bulbs are harvested carefully to avoid wounds and bruising, then promptly dried or cured
