Downy mildew of muskmelon is controlled by systemic fungicide

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Downy mildew of muskmelon is controlled by the systemic fungicide Ridomil MZ.
Downy mildews are caused by microscopic, fungus-like (Oomycete) organisms. The infection reduced the crop's yield and impaired the quality of the fruit. Muskmelon leaves turned brown and the vines died within a few days. The humidity of the micro-climate within the crop increased and provided ideal conditions for the development of downy mildew.
RIDOMIL is a highly effective fungicide for the control of Oomycete fungi (including late blight and Downy mildew).
