Heart rot prevention and treatment

Heart rot is quite harmful. If it is neglected or improperly managed, it will lead to losses of varying degrees. The key to preventing and treating this disease lies in "prevention".

Uprooting and burning or burying diseased plants is the most effective prevention and control method. At the same time, please note that after eradicating the diseased plants, you also need to spray 1% Bordeaux liquid on the surrounding environment and plants. You can also spray 500 times of 65% Zineb and 300 times of Mancozeb once a week from March to June each year. At the same time, strengthen fertilizer and water management, control water content, and avoid applying nitrogen fertilizer excessively to prevent damage by scale insects.

Leaf blight control

The disease manifests itself as initially reddish-brown circular spots, which soon connect and expand into large irregular spots. In severe cases, the entire leaf will die. For prevention and control, you can use 800 times spray of carbendazim or methyl thiophanate.
