Yes, it is likely leaf rot disease, especially common during the rainy season when fungal pathogens remain active in the environment. During such times—or when the disease is severe—it’s recommended to start treatment with higher concentrations for the first three applications to suppress the spread of the fungus effectively.
If single use (Mr Ganick Moldy Guard or Mr Ganick Bact-X):
- Initial phase (Severe or rainy season): Mix 20L water + 50–60ml Mr Ganick Moldy Guard or Mr Ganick Bact-X + Mr Ganick Silwet. Spray every 5–7 days.
- Once leaf spots stop spreading: Mix 20L water + 40–45ml Mr Ganick Moldy Guard or Mr Ganick Bact-X + Mr Ganick Silwet. Spray every 10-14 days.
- When new leaves emerge with no disease symptoms: Mix 20L water + 20–25ml Mr Ganick Moldy Guard or Mr Ganick Bact-X + Mr Ganick Silwett. Spray every 14 days.
If rotating fungicides (alternate method):
- Active phase, every 5–7 days, rotate: 20L water + Azoxystrobin + Pencycuron + Mr Ganick Silwet & 20L water + 40ml Mr Ganick Moldy Guard or Mr Ganick Bact-X + Mr Ganick Silwet
- When condition improves, every 10–14 days, alternate: 20L water + Azoxystrobin + Pencycuron + Silwet & 20L water + 30mlMr Ganick Moldy Guard or Mr Ganick Bact-X + Mr Ganick Silwet
- Final maintenance stage, every 14 days, alternate: 20L water + Azoxystrobin + Pencycuron + Silwet & 20L water + 20–25ml Mr Ganick Moldy Guard or Mr Ganick Bact-X + Mr Ganick Silwet
Additional Tips:
Ensure soil remains well-drained and not waterlogged—digging trenches for drainage is often necessary.
Note: If the disease has been present for a long time, switch from Moldy Guard and Bact-X to Tricho UV+ and Bacil UV+ for better control. Mix: 20L water + 20–40g Mr Ganick Tricho UV+ + 20–40g Mr Ganick Bacil UV+.
