Abstract
Incidence of leaf spot disease of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) incited by Taphrina maculans Butler has been demonstrated to be influenced by the amount of soil-borne inoculum as well as prevailing environmental conditions. Age of the host leaves becomes inconsequential, since they remain susceptible to infection over a long period until moisture remains available. Early appearance and severity of disease are conditioned by the concentration of effective inoculum in the soil. Moist cloudy weather with a temperature of 25-30°C (30-25°C from August to September) prevalent in this area is conducive to disease incidence in severe form.
