Location- Abohar, Punjab, India.
Even after proper fertilization and care were given to them, our kinnow plants (7 years old) were wilting day by day . Firstly, plants showed water deficient symptoms but later these green plants slowly converted into pale yellow green appearance. Plants did not show new flushes during August month, size of leaves and fruits totally restricted during this period as compare to other normal plants. We used ridomil, sodium hypochlorite , carbendazim etc but didn't get any positive response.
- No trunk injury observed
- No gummosis observed
- Some rotted roots observed
I attached a PDF, in which few pictures are attached for understanding the problem.
Exactly , it looks more like CTV , often called sudden death . In CTv affected trees, such symptoms are very common , hardly leaves will fall , stone size fruits will remain intact with trees....
you can please consult the experts from RRS, Abohar , they can guid eyou much better from field observations...
According to the symptoms that you have elucidated above, it seems to be citrus quick decline disease (Sudden death) which caused by Citrus tristeza virus (CTV).
With regards.
