What are the control methods for Metasequoia red blight?
Control methods for Metasequoia red blight:
1. Strictly enforce plant quarantine, prohibit the introduction of diseased seedlings into new areas, and immediately remove and burn any diseased seedlings found.
2. Do not plant seedlings too densely. Ensure ventilation and light penetration, reduce air humidity, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and less nitrogen fertilizer, to promote robust seedling growth and improve disease resistance.
3. During the disease period from April to May and September to October, spray 1:1:200 Bordeaux mixture, or 50% Tuzet wettable powder at 500 to 1000 times dilution, 25% carbendazim wettable powder at 500 times dilution, or antibacterial agent 401 at 800 times dilution, once every 10 to 15 days, for 2 to 3 consecutive times.
