What is lotus root black spot disease? How to control it? Please explain


        In the early stage of lotus root black spot disease, needle-tip-sized yellowish-brown small spots appear; in the later stage, the entire leaf is covered with lesions that have concentric rings, causing half or the whole leaf to dry up. Control: increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and avoid over-applying nitrogen fertilizer. In winter, thoroughly remove diseased and residual leaves from the field and burn them in a centralized manner; in the early stage of the disease, remove diseased leaves and spray for control. Commonly used options are 70% thiophanate-methyl 1000x solution or 65% zineb 600x solution, or 1:1:160-200 Bordeaux mixture, sprayed once every 10 days for a total of 2-3 applications.
