Notes:
Spike disease of sandal has recently been recorded in Kerala. For chemotherapy of the diseased trees a gravity-flow infusion technique was used to compare tetracycline compounds. All the compounds, including doxycycline and oxytetracycline, were effective when 500 mg per tree was infused in 500 ml water, but disease remission lasted for 4 months only. Repeated infusions failed to give complete remission. Increasing the concentration of tetracycline to 4–8 g per tree gave remission for 7–8 months; at 12 g per tree, phototoxicity was observed.
