The Disease: Powdery Mildew

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Powdery Mildew Disease of Crucifers: Biology, Ecology and Disease Management

Abstract

The powdery mildew of crucifers shows its symptoms on aerial parts of host plants in the form of white to dirty white circular floury patches on leaves, stems, inflorescence, and siliquae. These floury patches increase in size, and coalesce to cover entire aerial parts of the plant with the increase in atmospheric temperature. Later in the season, on infected leaves and siliquae, powdery growth may be embedded with brown to dark brown pin–head size cleistothecia or chasmothecia especially in case of B. juncea. Severely diseased leaves exhibit chlorotic or necrotic brown lesions, and leaf distortion followed by senescence. Severely diseased siliquae remain small in size, and produce small sized shriveled few seeds. The disease is distributed in more than 25 countries of the world infecting more than 120 crucifers host plants including vegetables, and oil yielding economically important crops. In India, powdery mildew is widely distributed from north to south and east to west with more severity in central states on crucifers vegetables, and oil yielding crops. Powdery mildew of crucifers causes 10–90% loss in yield of rapeseed- mustard crops with reduction in oil quality, and quantity up to 7%. The disease severity on different crucifers have been assessed using different scoring scales with respect to assessment of losses, efficacy of chemicals, influence of cultural operations (sowing time, spacing, intercropping, nitrogen and micronutrients application, cultivars grown), inbuilt resistance of genotype, efficacy of inoculation techniques, and yield potential of genotypes/cvs. under protected, and non-protected environments.
