Bacterial Disease

This disease mostly occurs in two forms i.e.,leaf stripes and top rot, which may occur singly or together under field condition
having relatively high atmospheric humidity. Red stripe first appears on basal part of the young leaves of the spindle/crown as water- soaked, long narrow chlorotic streaks usually midway in the leaf and near the midrib but in some instances the stripes are concentrated towards the leaf base and mostly the lower half of the leaf is generally more affected than the upper half. These stripes may be 0.5 to 1 mm in width and 5 to 100 mm in length (Rangaswami and Rajagopalan, 1973).
