Organic Farming :: Solutions for Disease Prevention  
Fungal infection and leaf spot disease

Ingredients: 

(a) 3-5- kg aloevera, (b) any two of the following: 3-5 kg custard apple leaves 3-5 kg bougainvilla leaves, 3-5 kg lantana camara leaves, 3-5 kg papaya leaves, (c) 100 gms turmeric powder, (d) 250-500 gms pseudomonas and (e) 10 liters archae bacterial solution.

Preparation: 

  • Pound all the leaves, add enough water to immerse them and boil it as explained above. 
  • Prepare 50 liters solution the solution will have a dark colour. 
  • Add turmeric powder to it. 
  • Let it ferment for about 12 hours. 
  • At the same time, mix the archaebacterial solution and pseudomonas and set aside for 12 hours.

Usage:  Mix the above two solutions, add sufficient water to bring the total to 100 liters, and spray. You will see long eye-shaped spots on leaves during the early stages of this disease.  At the center of each of these spots are the fungal spores that cause this disease.  As the disease progresses the spots grow larger and eventually all the spots combine into one.  The leaves turn brown/yellow and ultimately wilt.
