Rapid spread of bacterial infection occurs through vascular strand. The stems and leaves of infected plant give blighted or burnt up appearance. Control measures include roughing; 3-year crop rotation, disease free seeds, spray of copper fungicides and antibiotics besides showing disease resistant varieties. Bordeaux mixture is a most common fungicide. It was first discovered by Millardet in 1882 at university of Bordeaux (France) to control downy mildew of grapes.
