So, grab your farming hats and let us make garlic farming in Kenya the talk of the shamba with Onion Doctor`s expert vibes! COMMON GARLIC DISEASES IN KENYA 1.DOWNEY MILDEW Cause: The disease is caused by the oomycete pathogen Peronospora destructor, which infects garlic and other Allium species like onions and leeks. And thrives in Cool, moist environments with high humidity and moderate temperatures Symptoms:  Pale green to Yellow spots: Small, pale green or yellowish patches appear on the upper surface of the leaves and stalks. Implications: Yield Loss: Severe infections can lead to significant reductions in garlic yield due to stunted growth and plant death. Post-Harvest Issues: Infected bulbs are prone to rot during storage, affecting marketability and leading to economic losses. 2. WHITE ROT Cause: A soil-borne fungus called Sclerotium cepivorum Symptoms: The disease is characterized by white, fluffy fungal growth at the base of the bulb, accompanied by the formation of small, black, seed-like structures on decaying tissue.Early signs include yellowing and wilting of the lower leaves, progressing to dieback. Infected plants often appear stunted and can be easily pulled from the soil due to root decay Implication: Can lead to significant crop loss and soil contamination. Its spread can have serious economic implications, especially for commercial growers. 3.PURPLE BLOTCH Cause: It is a fungal disease caused by Alternaria porri. It thrives in warm, humid conditions Symptoms: Appear as small, sunken, whitish flecks on leaves and flower stalks. These lesions enlarge, developing purple centers with yellowish borders, and may coalesce to form large blotches. Impact: Significantly impact yield and bulb quality if not properly managed. 4.RUST Cause: Puccinia allii, a fungus affecting garlic and other Allium species. The fungus thrives in Cool temperatures. Symptoms: Small white to yellow flecks on leaves. Flecks enlarge into orange blisters that release spores. Leaves may yellow, wither, and die prematurely. Implications: Severe infections can lead to smaller bulbs and decreased overall yield. 5.FUSARIUM BASAL ROTCause: Caused by a soil-borne fungus known as Fusarium culmorum. The fungus thrives in warm conditions, so the disease is more common in the summer months. Symptom: Initially presents as yellowing and dieback of leaf tips, progressing downward. Below ground, roots may rot and be replaced by white moldy growth, while bulbs exhibit brown, watery decay starting at the basal plate and spreading upward. Implication: The most immediate impact of Fusarium basal rot is a reduction in yield. Affected plants often produce smaller bulbs, and in severe cases, the entire plant may die. Image of Fusarium Basal Rot in Garlic MANAGEMENT OF GARLIC DISEASES Cultural Practices Avoid planting Garlic in fields previously affected by diseases for at least 3–4 years Crop Rotation: Rotate Garlic with non-Allium crops every 3–4 years to break disease cycles. Sanitation: Remove and bury infected plant debris to reduce pathogen sources. Proper Irrigation: Use drip irrigation systems from Onion Doctor Limited Weed Control: Regularly remove weeds that can harbor pests and disease Planting Practices: Use disease-free seeds and certified planting materials from Onion Doctor Limited . Chemical Control Fungicide Application: Apply fungicides judiciously, following recommended schedules and dosages. Rotate fungicides with different modes of action to prevent resistance.
