Excerpt from Rangpur Tobacco WiltParticular attention should be paid to drainage, the very poor root development of all the diseased specimens as shewn in Plate X, Fig. 2, in comparison with that of a healthy and well developed plant suggests the necessity for this.Transplanting should be done early whilst plants are still small, in this way there is less risk of injury to the plant either by loss of roots or leaves, thus avoiding the production of points of entry for bacteria and the lowering of resistance of the plant to any bacterial invasion which may occur.A study should be made in tobacco growing districts of trap cropping for nematodes this is done in America by growing such plants as cowpeas and burning the crop when about 4 weeks old, thus destroying the nematodes encysted in the roots, rotation is also practised with the same object. In view of the fact that nematodes are responsible for other plant diseases in India, such a study might with advantage be extended to other crops and districts.In general it may be said that the occurrence of this disease is probably strictly limited by the condition of the plant, so that efficient soil management is the first requirement of any system of dealing with it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
