Black spot of rhododendron

Published: 2024-11-23 Author: mysheen
Last Updated: 2024/11/23, Rhododendron black spot, also known as brown spot, is a common multiple leaf spot disease of rhododendron. After the disease, the leaves formed black spots, which gradually dried up and fell off until the plant died. The disease mainly harms the leaves of rhododendron, which is infected by Cercospora rhododendron fungi, and several brown spots begin to appear. With the continuous expansion of the spots, the disease spots connect with each other and produce gray-brown fungal hyphae, and the damaged leaves start from the petiole and fall off early from green to brown, which seriously affects the growth, development and ornamental value of rhododendron. The pathogen overwinters on leaves or diseased plants.

The pathogen overwinters on leaves or diseased plants, and the spores spread with the wind.

The recurrence period of the disease is usually in the high temperature and humid season, and the disease occurs in winter in the greenhouse. Generally, plants with weaker growth, seedlings, lower leaves, plants with poor ventilation and rhododendron (compared with rhododendron) have more serious disease. According to the law of the disease, the following prevention and control measures can be taken:

The main results are as follows: (1) to strengthen cultivation and management, rotten leaf soil should be selected in rhododendron cultivation basin soil, pH value of watering should be between 4.5 and 6.5, watering substrate should be dry and wet, and some mature thin organic liquid fertilizer should be often applied to promote plant health, leaf thickening and resistance. Potted cuckoos should be placed in ventilated places and shaded, moisture-proof and water-proof in summer. Diseased leaves should be removed and burned in time, disease-resistant varieties should be selected, and quarantine of plant diseases and insect pests should be strengthened.

(2) Pesticide control: spray 70% topazine wettable powder 800 times or 50% carbendazim 300 times immediately after anthesis. In addition, it can be sprayed regularly, and a mixture of protective fungicides and fungicides can be used, such as Poly Anga M Dasheng 45 and Keshuda alternately, or spraying Bordeaux solution 1-150 Bordeaux solution twice a week; spraying 1-100 Bordeaux solution every 10 days in the rainy season, 3 to 4 times in a row.
