Disinfection in Mango Cultivation

ALSTASAN SILVOX (Silver Hydrogen Peroxide based Biodegradable Disinfectant) addresses the following areas of concern without causing harmful/toxic effects.

Method of application:

Regular treatment by Spray method:

A solution of the disinfectant is made and sprayed on the plants once in every 7-15 days helps in treating the following diseases: 

• Powdery Mildew by Oidium mangiferae is identified by superficial fungal growth on aerial plant parts; affected and fruits age prematurely and fall
• Anthracnose by Colletotrichum gleosporioides is identified by small dark spots on flowers, dark spots with a centered halo on the leaves, and sunken lesions on fruits
• Bacterial Leaf Spot by Xanthomonas campestris seen as angular wet leaf spots that crack open exuding a gummy substance, and defoliation
• Alternaria Leaf Spot, identified as small brown spots on the leaf undersides, is caused by Alternaria alternata
• Bacterial Cankers appear as water soaked angular lesions causing yellowing of leaves, is caused by Xanthomonas magniferae
• Stem End Rot by Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Phomospsis mangiferae, Dothiorella doninicana causes the fruits to blacken at the stem ends, and fowling of the pulp emits unpleasant odour
• Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Natrassia mangiferae causes drying of twigs and leaves, giving a burnt appearance, and generally fall off giving a bare look to the tree; known as Dieback
• Twig Blight produces elongated black lesions on the aerial plant parts giving a scorched appearance; the leaves dry and fall off, is caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Nattrassia mangiferae, Colletotrichum gleosporioides
• Gummosis is identified by the exudation of sap like substance, that turn brown with vertical cracks, is caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae
• Root Rot by Rhizoctonia sp. infects as water soaked patches around the stem bases, making the diseased tissues soft and dark

Regular treatment by Drench method:

A fair dilution of the disinfectant is made and the solution is drenched to each plant every 15-30 days. Helps in treating the following diseases:

• Bacterial Cankers appear as water soaked angular lesions causing yellowing of leaves, is caused by Xanthomonas magniferae
• Gummosis is identified by the exudation of sap like substance, that turn brown with vertical cracks, is caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae

Soil fumigation:

A solution of this disinfectant is applied uniformly on the moistened soil beds. Helps in the treatment of the following:

• Anthracnose by Colletotrichum gleosporioides is identified by small dark spots on flowers, dark spots with a centered halo on the leaves, and sunken lesions on fruits
• Bacterial Cankers appear as water soaked angular lesions causing yellowing of leaves, is caused by Xanthomonas magniferae
• Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Natrassia mangiferae causes drying of twigs and leaves, giving a burnt appearance, and generally fall off giving a bare look to the tree; known as Dieback
• Gummosis is identified by the exudation of sap like substance, that turn brown with vertical cracks, is caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae
• Root Rot by Rhizoctonia sp. infects as water soaked patches around the stem bases, making the diseased tissues soft and dark
