Dieback Disease

  • The dieback disease is mainly caused by the fungi Phomopsis Azadirachtae. The disease affects leaves, twigs and the inflorescence of neem trees of all ages. It causes almost loss of fruit production in severely infected trees.
  • The disease has been identified as twig blight and dieback disease in Telangana. The appearance of symptoms starts with the onset of the rainy season and becomes progressively severe in early winter.
  • The dieback is a fungal disease but when the neem trees are hit by insect infestation the combination of both increases its impact.
  • The dieback disease was first reported in the country during the 1990s near Dehradun in Uttarakhand, while it was first noticed in Telangana in 2019.
