If necessary, disinfect the stem base of the seedling, soak it in 1% copper sulfate for 5 minutes and then move it to 2% lime water for 1 minute. Second, the soil without root cancer disease was selected as nursery soil and basin soil. Potted plants should be replaced with disease-free soil. Third, the newly diseased plant can be cured by removing the cancer with a knife, then smearing the wound with the residue of stone-sulfur mixture or Bordeaux pulp, or with methyl iodine solution (50 parts of methanol, 25 parts of glacial acetic acid, 12 parts of iodine tablets).

According to foreign reports, injection of penicillin, streptomycin, chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline into diseased plants also has therapeutic effects.
