leaves <strong>in</strong> contact with the soil<br />
and gradually may grow<br />
through the petiole to the<br />
stem and eventually girdle it.<br />
If conditions rema<strong>in</strong> moist, a<br />
large amount of cottony,<br />
moldy growth can be seen on<br />
the dead tissue. As this<br />
growth progresses, hard<br />
black, irregularly-shaped<br />
bodies called sclerotia form<br />
on the surface or <strong>in</strong> the pith<br />
of the stem<br />
· The fungus causes swell<strong>in</strong>g<br />
of the roots with<br />
characteristic club-like shapes<br />
and a reduction of f<strong>in</strong>e lateral<br />
roots. These later reduce the<br />
roots ability to absorb water<br />
result<strong>in</strong>g to stunted growth<br />
and death of the plants under<br />
dry climatic conditions.<br />
· TMV causes plant stunt<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
leaf stunt<strong>in</strong>g, mottl<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
deformation and occasionally<br />
dry<strong>in</strong>g. Leaf symptoms<br />
<strong>in</strong>clude mottl<strong>in</strong>g with raised<br />
dark green areas and some<br />
distortion on young to<br />
youngest leaves. Leaf<br />
symptoms first appear on<br />
crown leaves, which turn<br />
downward, become rough,<br />
cr<strong>in</strong>kled and may curl<br />
downward at the marg<strong>in</strong>s.<br />
Sometimes, green fruits are<br />
mottled. Affected plants may<br />
be stunted.<br />
· ToMV creates green mosaic<br />
and fern-leaf symptoms.<br />
Stunt<strong>in</strong>g of plants when<br />
attacked at early age. Some<br />
varieties exhibit severe<br />
defoliation.<br />
· CMV causes severe stunt<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
The leaves are moderately or<br />
severely malformed and the<br />
<strong>in</strong>ternodes become short.<br />
Some varieties have narrow<br />
leaves and malformed fruits<br />
· Use of resistant varieties. Select<br />
clubroot-free nursery soil that is<br />
well-dra<strong>in</strong>ed. Do not transplant<br />
seedl<strong>in</strong>gs that have little clubs or<br />
swollen roots that do not look<br />
normal.<br />
· Remove weeds that can be a host<br />
of clubroot and other diseases.<br />
· Uproot <strong>in</strong>fected plants <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
all the roots and destroy them.<br />
Apply lime to raise the pH level<br />
to around 7. Sterilize the soil to<br />
kill the spores of the fungus.<br />
Apply<strong>in</strong>g fungicides is not<br />
effective to control the fungus<br />
because the spores are very<br />
strong and may still be <strong>in</strong>side the<br />
plant roots.<br />
· Viruses are very persistent and<br />
<strong>in</strong>fectious, and can be spread by<br />
merely brush<strong>in</strong>g aga<strong>in</strong>st plants.<br />
Infected seeds and crop debris<br />
often serve as primary sources of<br />
<strong>in</strong>oculum. These viruses can be<br />
elim<strong>in</strong>ated from seed coats by<br />
soak<strong>in</strong>g seeds <strong>in</strong> 12.5% solution<br />
of trisodium phosphate for 30<br />
m<strong>in</strong>utes.<br />
· Dur<strong>in</strong>g cultivation, dis<strong>in</strong>fect hand<br />
or tools after work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> an<br />
<strong>in</strong>fected plot. Rogue out <strong>in</strong>fected<br />
plants. Bury tomato debris <strong>in</strong> the<br />
soil as this disease can be<br />
transmitted by root contact.<br />
