    A.

    Virus

    B.

    Bacterium

    C.

    Fungus

    D.

    Nematode

    Correct option is B

    Citrus canker is caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv citri, which leads to lesions on leaves, stems, and fruits.
    Symptoms:
    · Affects acid lime, lemon, and grapefruit; rare on sweet oranges and mandarins.
    · Targets leaves, twigs, and fruits; leaves are not distorted.
    · Circular lesions with a yellow halo appear on both sides of the leaf, severe in acid lime.
    · Lesions on twigs cause girdling and dieback.
    · Reduces market value when lesions appear on fruits.
    Management:
    · Use Streptomycin sulphate (500-1000 ppm), Phytomycin (2500 ppm), or Copper oxychloride (0.2%) at fortnightly intervals.
    · Control leaf miner during young flush growth.
    · Prune severely infected twigs before the monsoon.
