Combat Foliar Diseases with a Disease Control Program

Even as we move into fall months, high temperatures and humidity can linger, so it is still important to monitor closely for foliar diseases. Although most pathogens do not cause plant mortality, symptoms can greatly reduce the appearance and salability of infected plants.

Strategies to Stay Ahead of Spring Diseases

While spring is one of the busiest times of year, it is also an essential time to watch for disease pressure that can build with increasing temperatures.

Beat Cool-season Diseases with a Proven Agronomic Plan

Certain diseases thrive in cooler growing environments, so growers must remain vigilant even as temperatures start to drop. Along with regular scouting, having a preventive agronomic program in place with a rotation of products labeled for specific disease control is the best way to ensure diseases don’t threaten healthy crops.

Protecting Plants from Powdery Mildew During Production

Healthy plants are crucial for a successful operation, which means protecting them from ornamental diseases from day one. Before you begin production, be prepared with tools to ensure healthy plants, including proper scouting methods, cultural practices and products that offer comprehensive, long lasting disease management. While there are many diseases that can threaten your operation, one of the most common is powdery mildew as it can affect a wide range of herbaceous and woody ornamental crops.
