Description
The early identification of diseases in papaya crops enables the grower to select the most appropriate control measure(s) in order to reduce crop damage. For each disease the photographs demonstrate the main diagnostic features likely to be seen in the field.
The poster provides photographs of the eight major diseases found in Australia. In addition two serious exotic diseases – bacterial crown rot and papaya meleira or sticky disease are included in order to assist growers in identifying these diseases should they be found here.
