How to prevent and control pests and diseases of oleander? A detailed guide to practical methods
1. After aphids are found, spray the plants with a 40% dichlorvos emulsion at 800 times dilution, or with water in which cigarette butts have been soaked; when there are only a few, they can also be brushed off. For other control methods, refer to the pest and disease control section for Chinese rose and scarlet sage. 2. Scale insects damage the branches and leaves. Control method: spray the plants with Jiesha at 2000 times dilution. For other control methods, refer to pest and disease control for crape myrtle. 3. Black spot disease This disease occurs easily under high temperature and high humidity and damages the leaves.
