Will the black rot of the meat in the same basin be contagious?

Whether it was for beauty or lack of flowerpots, it was common to plant plants in pots. Since there were many plants of meat kept together, it was natural that one of the plants in the basin would rot and die.

Once this happens, people will worry: since black rot is a fungal infection, will it be contagious? Could it infect one tree and then another? This is a very natural worry. Even if I say no, I guess people will not believe me.

We've all bought boxes of fruit. If the fruit box is not ventilated or eaten too slowly, a small amount of fruit will rot. At first, it seemed to be fine. Rot only occurred on one or two weak fruits, but as soon as the outer skin of the fruit was covered with penicillium, rot immediately spread throughout the fruit box. As long as other fruits came into contact with penicillium, they would rot in a short time.

Therefore, according to the principle of fruit decay, if there is a piece of meat in a meat bowl, the surrounding meat should be infected, and then quickly spread to the whole flower pot, until all the meat in the bowl dies.

However, the flower friends who had black rot in the pots could prove that the black rot in the pots did not spread as wildly as the rot in the fruit boxes. Let's compare the difference between pot blackening and fruit rot.

Fruit, and a succulent fellow. But they are different from the meat in the pot. After they are picked from the trees, they are in a dormant state. The fruits are alive, but their vital activity is reduced to a low level, and only the energy provided by respiration sustains the survival of the cells and the transformation of intracellular sugars. Since the nutrients in the fruit are valuable in their own right to rot and fertilize their own seeds, they not only don't care, they welcome mold to eat their flesh.

But meat grown in flower pots is completely different. Healthy meat has a strong self-healing ability and will not be slaughtered like fruit in a fruit box. If the skin of the flesh is infected, the flesh can usually be quickly repaired to prevent the invasion of fungi. When black rot does occur, mold usually enters the flesh through skin wounds. For this strange attack method of Sun Wukong drilling into Princess Iron Fan's stomach, flesh often lacked defense ability (let alone flesh, even demons with thousands of years of cultivation could not withstand it).

Fungi enter the flesh and multiply along the vessels that transport water through the flesh. Soon, the whole flesh will turn black. However, for other meat growing in the same pot, as long as the fungi do not enter the meat body, even if the fungi density in the pot soil is very high, it will not cause black rot. So in most cases, you don't even have to pay attention to the black-rotting flesh. You can cut off the head, break the leaves and so on without digging her up. After the black rot was completely over (the stems and leaves had completely dried up), he gently pulled out the dead flesh.

Why didn't they immediately dig up the black rot when they found it? This is because the meat in the basin is densely planted, and the roots between the meat tend to tangle together. If you dig on a large scale when black rot has just occurred, it is easy to hurt other healthy meat. When healthy fleshy roots are injured, they are easy targets for fungal attacks. This can easily lead to new black rot. And if you leave her alone, the fungus will overbreed and die in large numbers after the nutrients in the dead meat have been consumed. The density of the flora will naturally decrease to a normal level. At this time, the meat around him was safe.

There is a kind of black rot that needs special attention, that is, black rot caused by maintenance errors. For example, you know that you overwatered your flowerpots, or they just experienced pests or sunburn. At this time, if it is found that a certain meat in the flowerpot has undergone black rot, since all the meat in the flowerpot has experienced the same condition, it is likely that black rot will occur one after another, which is to cause considerable attention.

If the soil in the pot is still very wet when you find the meat black rot, and the weather may not be too good at the same time, consider whether other meat is also under suffocating conditions. Under the condition that the basin soil is very wet, it is not advisable to use carbendazim for root irrigation. Because in the case of airtight, the absorption capacity of meat roots for drugs is very limited, and re-irrigation of roots will make the pot soil more airtight. This practice is not only unhelpful, but harmful. Therefore, the first priority of wet soil black rot is ventilation. Especially in soils that are prone to airtight peat, you can use a more sophisticated tool (such as a seedling shifter) to help loosen the meat and enhance ventilation. When the soil dries, it will restore its permeability, and then the meat will be safe.

If pests are also found in the pot where black rot occurs, it is likely that black rot is caused by insect bites. At this time, observe the other meat. If the other meat is in a relatively healthy condition and does not wilt, there is no need to make a big effort to remove the soil and wash the roots. Just irrigate the roots with pesticides and pay attention to observation in the near future.

To sum up, black rot can be said to be non-contagious. However, under adverse conditions that are prone to black rot, meat may indeed undergo black rot one after another. At this time, based on the improvement of the environment for meat growth is more effective than treatment alone.
