Bud rot
Causal organism: Phytophthora palmivora
It is one of the serious diseases of coconut and is fatal as the growing part of the plant is damaged. Bud rot incidence is high in palms growing in marshy, water-logging areas and in environments that promote high humidity (above 90%). The incidence is mostly found to be severe during, monsoon when RH is very high and temperature below 24°C. The pathogen remains dormant in the leaf base in dry weather and becomes active after getting the monsoon showers which indicates that unfavourable climatic conditions appear to be the primary cause of the disease and the fungal infection is considered to be secondary only.
