Fusarium dieback, caused by Fusarium species complex is a major disease of the tea crop. An integrated approach of disease management including monitoring/detection at early stages of infection and keeping the disease under ETL (Economic Threshold Level), judicious use of synthetic fungicides and incorporating microbial bioagents will go a long way for the sustainable management of the disease.

Description
The online course "Fusarium Dieback Disease in Tea and Its Management Strategy" provides a thorough overview of Fusarium dieback, one of the major diseases affecting tea crops. It begins with a general introduction to common tea diseases, focusing on Fusarium dieback as the disease under study. The course explores the systemic classification, symptoms through pictorial representations, and morphological characteristics of the pathogen. Key topics include clonal susceptibility, pathogenicity, and histopathology to understand the disease's impact on tea plants. Participants will also learn about comprehensive control strategies, including cultural, biological, and chemical methods. Additionally, the course delves into the probable causes behind the increasing spread of Fusarium infection, offering insights for effective management.Course Contents
