Management
- Seed treatment with
     Aureomycin 1000ppm for 30 min is effective in killing both the internally
     and externally seed-borne pathogen.
- Drenching the nursery soil
     with formaldehyde 0.5% helps in checking the disease.
- Application of bleaching
     powder at 10.0 to 12.5 kg/ha controls the disease.
