What are the control methods for white rust in water spinach?
How do you control white rust in water spinach? Please advise. First, carry out a 2- to 3-year crop rotation with other vegetable varieties. Second, before sowing, treat the seed at a ratio of 300 g of 35% metalaxyl per 100 kg of seed for sterilization; third, in the early stage of the disease, use 50% copper metalaxyl wettable powder at 6000 to 7000 times dilution, or 72.2% propamocarb aqueous solution...
How do you control white rust in water spinach? Please advise.
First, carry out a 2- to 3-year crop rotation with other vegetable varieties.
Second, before sowing, treat the seed at a ratio of 300 g of 35% metalaxyl per 100 kg of seed for sterilization; third, in the early stage of the disease, spray with 50% copper metalaxyl wettable powder at 6000 to 7000 times dilution, or 72.2% propamocarb aqueous solution at 8000 times dilution, once every 7 to 10 days. Reinfection. Rainwater and insects can also spread it, and whether seed can transmit it remains to be studied. Cool, damp nights, warm days, heavy fog and dew, and sticky, wet soil favor the occurrence and epidemic of this disease.
III. Control methods
(1) Select disease-free seed and treat the seed: select a disease-free plot for seed production, soak newly bought seed in 50°C warm water for 25 minutes, then sow after cooling.
(2) Strengthen garden management: choose a plot with high terrain, good drainage and good ventilation for planting. Apply sufficient fertilizer and increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Irrigate reasonably and do not let the onion plot become too wet. When diseased plants are found, pull them out and bury them promptly. After harvest, thoroughly remove diseased residues, treat them centrally, and carry out deep plowing to reduce the source of inoculum.
(3) Chemical control: spray in the early stage of the disease, once every 7-10 days, for 3-4 consecutive sprays. Commonly used chemicals include 1:1:240-300 Bordeaux mixture, 40% fosetyl-aluminum wettable powder at 200-300 times dilution, 25% metalaxyl wettable powder at 500-1000 times dilution, 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder at 500-600 times dilution, 65% zineb wettable powder at 500-700 times dilution, 64% oxadixyl, M8 wettable powder at 500 times dilution, and 66.5% propamocarb aqueous solution at 700-1000 times dilution.
