Management

  • The disease appears first as dark red spots on the berry.
  • Later, these spots are circular, sunken, ashy-gray and in late stages these spots are surrounded by a dark margin which gives it the “bird’s-eye rot” appearance.
  • The spots vary in size from 1/4 inch in diameter to about half the fruit.
  • The fungus also attacks shoots, tendrils, petioles, leaf veins, and fruit stems.
  • Numerous spots sometimes occur on the young shoots.
  • These spots may unite and girdle the stem, causing death of the tips.
  • Spots on petioles and leaves cause them to curl or become distorted
  • Seed-borne-infected vine, cuttings and air-borne conidia
  • As dormant mycelium in the infected stem-cankers
  • Warm wet weather
  • Low lying and badly drained soils.
  • Removal of infected twigs
  • Copper oxychloride 0.2% or Mancozeb 0.25%
