Garlic Crop Under Fungal Attack: Root Rot Threatens Yield, Farmers' Efforts at Risk

• Garlic crops in Bhilwara face widespread root rot and fungal issues, especially for late-sown fields.
• Symptoms include browning/blackening and reduction of roots, indicating soil fungi damage to garlic bulbs.
• Thiophanate Methyl 70% W.P. (500g/acre) or Metalaxyl 35% (250g/bigha) can treat root rot and fungus.
• For insect infestation, use THIOMAX (Thiamethoxam 25% WG) at 100-200g/acre; Humic 98 aids root development.
• Avoid excessive irrigation; drenching medicines directly to roots ensures better disease control and yield.
