What are the common control methods for diseases of Schisandra chinensis?
Schisandra chinensis fruit rot and its control
Small brown or black spots appear on the fruit surface, which later turn black. Control method: use a 50% amobam 500-600 times dilution, spraying once every 10 days, for 3-4 consecutive sprays.
Schisandra chinensis root rot and its control
It mostly occurs from early May to early August. After onset, the root and the soil contact area rot, the root bark falls off, and the plant dies within a few days. Control method: drench the roots with 1:1:100 Bordeaux mixture.
Schisandra chinensis leaf blight and its control
It mostly occurs from late May to mid-July, with the lesions appearing withered yellow. It initially starts from the leaf tip and gradually expands and spreads; in severe cases, the entire leaf withers and dies. It is severe when temperatures are high and humidity is excessive with poor ventilation. Control method: spray with 400-500 times zineb and 1500 times thiophanate-methyl; preferably before onset in late April, spraying once a week for 2-3 consecutive sprays, or Bordeaux mixture sprayed once a day.
