Disease onset occurred on Jul. 10 and on Aug. 4 in 1987 and 1988, respectively. In both years, infection and subsequent disease development occurred when day temp. were <28°C. Rain was recorded on 7 consecutive days prior to disease onset in 1987 and on 5 of 7 days in 1988. An increase in soil inoculum levels was also associated with a decrease in day temp., higher rainfall and cloudy weather publisher: Indian Phytopathological Society date: 1992 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/5013/1/JA%201260.pdf identifier: Reddy, M V and Sarkar, N and Nene, Y L and Raju, T N (1992) Predisposing factors for phytophthora blight of pigeonpea.
