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 />
