Summary
A leaf-spot ofpan (Piper betle Lin.) has been found widespread and occurs throughout thepan-growing tracts.
The symptoms of the disease have been described.
The causal organism has been identified to be the conidial stage of the fungusGlomerella cingulata (Stonem.) Spauld. and V. Schrenk and its pathogenicity has been established.
The fungus is disseminated by wind, rain and water passing over the lesions and survives on dead vines and leaves lying in the plantations.
The disease can be controlled by clean cultivation, destruction of dead leaves and vines and the spraying of the plants by 2:2:50 Bordeaux mixture or Perenox.
