To us, jasmine is a very beautiful plant, especially when the flowering season arrives, with the beautiful jasmine blossoms brimming with fragrance, it is truly a rare and wonderful sight, so how should we prevent and control pests and diseases in jasmine?

1. Jasmine anthracnose and its prevention and control

In fact, this condition is a common one in jasmine. When jasmine contracts this disease, the color of the jasmine's leaves and flowers gradually fades, which in turn causes the jasmine to wither. It mainly harms the leaves of the jasmine, but sometimes it also affects the tender leaves of the jasmine. Prevention and control method: after discovering this condition, all the already withered leaves and branches of the jasmine should be cut off immediately, and then destroyed with fire. Another method is to fertilize the jasmine; when fertilizing, use some organic fertilizers, such as phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and so on.

2. Jasmine southern blight and its prevention and control

This disease is one of the conditions that causes the death of many jasmine plants. When jasmine contracts this disease, it directly causes the branches and leaves of the jasmine to wither, and then a large patch of jasmine dies. Prevention and control method: as soon as a jasmine plant with this disease is found, the diseased jasmine should be pulled out immediately, and the soil beneath it also needs to be disinfected. Fertilize reasonably, and use some organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer placed beneath the jasmine. An appropriate dosage of chemicals can also be used for prevention and control, for example: amobam 1000-fold solution, both are good choices.

3. Jasmine chlorosis and its prevention and control

People who grow jasmine will find that one condition jasmine commonly gets in daily life is chlorosis. This condition makes the jasmine show yellow between the veins of the tender leaves and green veins. Another situation is that after the jasmine leaves unfold, they turn yellow. These two different conditions require different prevention and control methods. For the first one, iron can be supplemented to the jasmine, so that the jasmine will be rid of this condition. For the other, nitrogen fertilizer should be supplemented to the jasmine, for example reasonable fertilization, pruning the jasmine, and also reasonable watering; all of these can help the jasmine prevent and control chlorosis.

4. Jasmine brown spot disease and its prevention and control

When it is found that jasmine has contracted this disease, at first a small number of the jasmine's leaves show small spots, mainly on the middle and lower parts of the leaves, and at a later stage large light-yellow spots form, and in severe cases the jasmine withers. Prevention and control method: as soon as this situation is found, pruning should be carried out immediately, cutting off the affected branches and leaves and burning them. In early spring, some Bordeaux mixture can be sprayed on the jasmine for prevention and control. Another method is reasonable fertilization; wintering fertilizer can be applied to increase the jasmine's immunity.
