  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Summary

In several orchards in the districts of North Arcot and Cuddappah limb breakage of oranges and limes has been prevalent in recent years causing damage to the trees in full bearing. This occurs in the months of October to December and is aggravated by strong winds.Trametes cervina is associated with this. This fungus is able to infect the bark and wood through wounds. Eradication of the insects infesting the crotches and painting the bark with Bordeaux mixture are recommended as preventive measures.
