The main diseases of licorice are rust, powdery mildew and brown spot.

Licorice rust mainly harms the leaves and tender stems of the plant. Yellowish-brown blister is produced on the back of the infected leaves, and brown powder is released after the epidermis is ruptured.

The control method burns the leaves of diseased plants. At the initial stage of the disease, it can be prevented and treated with 1000 times of powder and sulfur mixture or 65% wettable Dysen zinc, once every 7 to 10 days, 2 to 3 times in succession.

Licorice brown spot, also known as leaf spot, mainly harms the leaves, the leaves produce round or irregular disease spots, the center of the disease spot is grayish brown, the edge is brown, and there are black mildew on both sides of the disease spot.

In the early stage of the disease, the broad-spectrum antimicrobial pesticide Gai Zhiling was sprayed 1200 to 1500 times, once every 7 to 10 days, twice to 3 times. Or spray 1 ∶ 1 ∶ 100 to 1 ∶ 1 ∶ 160 Bordeaux solution or spray 70% methyl thiophanate wettable powder 1500 to 2000 times.

Licorice pests mainly include licorice carmine scale, grub and other underground pests; alfalfa bugs, short-haired grass weevil, aphids and other ground pests; licorice bean elephant, licorice seed cicada and other seed pests.

The short-haired grass elephant, from July to early August, mainly feeds on licorice leaves. Prevention and control methods: use little or no pesticides as far as possible, you can choose biological pesticides and low-toxic pesticides, such as 2.5% deltamethrin emulsion 1000, 2500, 5000 times, 45 kg per mu. Chemical control can be considered when the insect population density reaches 100, but the effect on the quality of licorice in the future must be considered.

If aphids occur, spray 50% fenitrothion 1000 times to 2000 times or 40% dimethoate 1500 times to 2000 times. 1500 times of dichlorvos EC can also kill aphids. Once every 7 to 10 days, it can be eliminated several times in a row.
