Study Notes
Little Leaf Disease of Brinjal
- Little Leaf Disease of Brinjal is caused by a Mycoplasma pathogen.
- The disease affects the leaves of brinjal plants, Solanum melongena, causing them to significantly reduce in size.
- The disease also impacts nodes, leading to a bushy appearance in infected plants.
- Severe infections can prevent flowering and fruiting, with flowers often developing into phylloid structures.
- The disease primarily spreads through grafting.
- The pathogen can persist by infecting various alternate or collateral hosts, including bitter gourd, watermelon, menthi, sunhemp, beet, castor, soybean, etc.
- Tetracycline treatment can effectively control the disease.
