Management of Ginger Bacterial Wilt and Leaf Spot Diseases: A Manual for Agriculture Extension Workers and Practitioners
The sudden outbreak of ginger bacterial wilt disease and leaf spot disease in 2012-2013 has devastated ginger varieties all over the country irrespective of variations in cultivars and geographic locations, resulting in a sharp drop in production and supply of the crop. The diseases outbreak had an estimated incidence of 80-100%, which caused up to 90-100% crop loss. Consequently, the socio-economic security of farmers, traders and other members of the societies whose livelihood was based directly or indirectly on production and marketing of ginger have been affected.
