Cut Rose Powdery Mildew Control Methods and Key Technical Points
Powdery mildew is one of the most important diseases of roses, damaging leaves, young shoots, flower buds and pedicels. The control methods are as follows:
Strengthen cultivation management and promptly remove diseased plant residues; prune in good time to improve ventilation and light conditions; nitrogen fertilizer should not be excessive, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be appropriately increased.
Chemical control: when the disease occurs during the growing season, spray 15% triadimefon wettable powder at 2000-4000 times dilution or 50% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder at 1000 times dilution; 50% benomyl wettable powder at 1000 times dilution; 30% triflumizole at 800-1000 times dilution (pay attention to personal protection); 50% sulfur suspension concentrate (spray at 200-300 times dilution at the first sign of disease, and at 400-500 times dilution when the temperature is above 30 degrees Celsius).
In addition, sodium fluorosulfate is a poison bait, generally used at a concentration of 15%, to control insect pests.
