How to Deal with Chlorophytum Borers锈 Spot DiseaseAs a potted plant with high indoor ornamental value, the occurrence of rust spot disease on the leaves of Chlorophytum is a common problem in the maintenance process. This leaf disease caused by fungal infection not only affects the ornamental value but also leads to the overall weakening of the plant if not treated promptly. This article will systematically analyze the treatment process and prevention strategies of rust spot disease to help growers achieve precise maintenance.I. Disease Diagnosis and Emergency Treatment1.1 Recognition of Disease SymptomsInitially, the leaves show needle-like brown spots on the surface, which develop into circular rust spots with a diameter of 2-5mm as the disease progresses. In the later stage, a black mold layer forms in the center of the spots. Infected leaves gradually lose their luster and may become curled and dry in severe cases.1.2 Chemical Agent TreatmentIsolate the plant immediately upon detecting diseased leaves and spray the entire plant with a 70% mancozeb wettable powder solution diluted 800 times. Focus on treating both sides of the leaves, repeating the application every 7 days for 3 times to form a protection cycle. After application, ensure good ventilation to prevent the accumulation of the solution, which could cause secondary damage.II. Comprehensive Maintenance Management Plan2.1 Nutritional Regulation MeasuresStop applying nitrogen fertilizer to the affected plants and switch to using a potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution (diluted 1500 times) for foliar topdressing. Apply decomposed bone meal (5g/pot) to the roots monthly to enhance the plant's resistance to disease. After fertilizing, perform a loose soil operation to improve the substrate's aeration.2.2 Substrate Update TechnologyThoroughly remove the old soil and use a new substrate sterilized with high-pressure steam (peat: pine needles: perlite = 5:3:2). Before potting, soak the roots in a 0.1% potassium permanganate solution for 20 minutes and cut off any decayed roots. After repotting, place the plant in a scattered light environment to acclimate and maintain a slightly moist substrate.III. Establishing a Long-term Prevention Mechanism3.1 Key Points of Environmental RegulationMaintain a day-night temperature difference of 8-10°C and keep the air humidity between 60-70%. Set up a circulating fan to ensure good air circulation and prevent prolonged leaf moisture. Ensure 4 hours of direct sunlight daily during spring and autumn, and use a 50% shade net for protection in summer.3.2 Biological Control StrategiesRegularly apply Trichoderma harzianum biological agents to inhibit the multiplication of pathogenic bacteria through microbial antagonism. Cover the surface of the potting soil with bamboo charcoal granules to reduce the density of bacteria through its absorbent properties. Every quarter, water with a diluted EM (Effective Microorganisms) original solution to maintain a balanced root microecosystem.By establishing a three-dimensional governance system of scientific medication, precise fertilization, and environmental regulation, not only can the spread of rust spot disease be effectively controlled, but the overall stress resistance of Chlorophytum can also be enhanced. It is recommended that growers keep a maintenance log to record temperature and humidity changes and fertilization cycles, forming a personalized disease control plan. For plants with repeated infections, consider variety improvement by selecting improved varieties with higher disease resistance, such as 'Anshan Orchid'.
