Causes of Rose Leaf Spot DiseaseRose leaf spot disease is a fungal disease that mainly occurs in high temperature and humidity environments. When the resistance of the rose plant decreases, the pathogen invades the leaves, causing leaf spots.
Symptoms of Rose Leaf Spot Disease1. Early stage: Small light green or yellow spots appear on the leaves, gradually expanding into round or irregular shapes.
2. Middle stage: The lesions darken in color, becoming brown or black, with red-brown edges and yellow halos around the lesions.
3. Later stage: Lesions merge together, leaves gradually wither, and in severe cases, the entire rose plant may die.
Prevention and Control Methods of Rose Leaf Spot Disease1. Daily maintenance:
(1) Maintain ventilation and avoid excessive plant density.
(2) Reasonable fertilization to enhance plant resistance.
(3) Timely pruning of diseased leaves and branches to reduce pathogen transmission.
2. Chemical control:
(1) Choose suitable pesticides, such as carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl, etc.
(2) Spray in time at the beginning of the disease, spraying once every 7-10 days, and continue for 2-3 times.
(3) Pay attention to the alternating use of pesticides to prevent the pathogen from developing resistance.
Preventive Measures1. Choose disease-resistant varieties, such as "Ruby" and "Golden Celebration."
2. Disinfect the soil before planting using disinfectants such as potassium permanganate or copper sulfate.
3. Pay attention to plant spacing to avoid excessive plant density and reduce the incidence of diseases.
