Agricultural Practices

breadfruit trees are susceptible to several diseases, each requiring specific management strategies. Common diseases include Stem Canker, characterized by dark, sunken areas on the trunk and branches; Powdery Mildew, which presents as a white, powdery substance on leaves; Rust, identifiable by orange pustules; Blight, causing wilting and browning of leaves; and Mosaic Virus, which stunts growth. Other issues are Bacterial Wilt, leading to rapid wilting, and Fruit Rot and Anthracnose, affecting fruits and leaves. Effective management combines cultural, biological, and chemical practices.
