Diseases
A plant can be infected yet you
will not see any insect on them
as they can be infected by a viral
or a fungal infection. Root Rot,
Black or reddish spots or bulbous
growths seen on leaves are signs
of plant disease. Leaves, buds
or flowers which are dull in color
are also suspect.
Many type of plant disease cannot
be stopped once it spreads. Prevention
is the key to the control of plant
diseases.
Keep your farm, lawn and garden
clean. Remove weeds, dead grass
and leaves. Do not use infected
or suspect leaves for composting,
or mulch them with a mower, since
that can spread fungus spores.
Consult an expert regarding planting
disease resistant varieties and
certified disease-free seeds.
Always use well-drained soil.
If your soil is compacted or of
heavy clay composition, add sand
or peat moss as necessary.
Repeat the treatment every week
or 10 days. More frequent applications
may be necessary during hot, moist
weather when plant diseases tend
to be most severe.
