The primary reddish-brown dot on the diseased leaf gradually expands into a nearly round, or polygonal spot limited by the vein of the leaf, with a diameter of 1mm to 5mm, dark brown; sometimes gray-white in the center, the edge is not obvious. The disease spot leaves are one-sided deep and the back color is light, and the disease spots on the leaf edge can be connected to each other, and most of them produce gray-black mildew spots on the surface of the disease part when it is wet. 2.

1. Symptoms

Primary reddish-brown dots on diseased leaves, gradually expanding into subcircular, or polygonal spots limited by veins, 1-5 mm in diameter, dark brown; sometimes gray-white in the center, the margin is not obvious. The disease spot leaves are one-sided deep and the back color is light, and the disease spots on the leaf edge can be connected to each other, and most of them produce gray-black mildew spots on the surface of the disease part when it is wet.

2. Pathogen

The pathogen of rhododendron brown spot is CercosporarhododendriFerraris, which belongs to Trichoderma. The gray-black mildew spots on the disease spot are the conidia and conidia of the pathogen. Conidia light brown, 1-4 septum. The conidia are placed at the top of the conidiophores, whip-shaped, apical, slightly curved and segregated after maturity.

3. The law of occurrence and development

The pathogen overwintered with mycelium on diseased leaves or plant remains, and the suitable temperature in the second year was to produce conidia. The spores were transmitted by Rain Water or the wind, and the spores floated on the leaves. When they encountered dew or water droplets, they produced bud tubes and invaded the leaf tissue, which generally occurred more seriously from April to July.

4. Prevention and control methods

(1) strengthen the management of the nursery: remove the diseased leaves, remove the fallen leaves underground or in the basin and burn them centrally. Keep ventilated and transparent in summer to avoid excessive humidity.

(2) Pesticide control: spray 50% carbendazim wettable powder 500 times 800 times, or more than 50% topiramate 800 times 1000 times, or spray with 1 Bordeaux solution.
