How to prevent and treat common pests and diseases of Calibrachoa? Detailed explanation of the latest methods
Common diseases and their prevention and treatment
White mold disease
When symptoms appear, immediately remove the diseased leaves, and in the early stage of the disease, spray with a 600-800 times dilution of 75% chlorothalonil.
Leaf spot disease
When infected by this disease, be careful to prevent the leaves from being bumped, and at the same time avoid the adverse effects of wind damage, frost damage, and sunscald; also immediately remove the diseased leaves and burn them, and clear away the fallen leaves as well; spray with a 1000 times dilution of 50% amobam.
Viral disease
Spraying insecticide to clear away aphids can indirectly prevent this disease; a 1000 times solution of 40% omethoate can be used; during cultivation, the hands and tools that touch diseased plants must be disinfected.
Aphids
Plants heavily infested by aphids should be isolated promptly, and sprayed with a 1000 times dilution of 10% omethoate emulsion, or a 1000-1500 times dilution of malathion emulsion, or a 15000-20000 times dilution of 70% imidacloprid water-dispersible granules, or a 1000 times dilution of dichlorvos emulsifiable concentrate.
Whether pests and diseases can be treated in time determines whether the calibrachoa can bloom into stunning, waterfall-like masses of flowers, so every flower lover must pay sufficient attention to it.
