Fungal Root Rots And Chemical Fungicide Use

Gary W. Moorman, Professor of Plant Pathology

Root rots of floricultural and woody ornamental crops are one of the most important causes of crop loss. In addition to killing plants and thereby reducing the quantity of saleable crop, root rots can also slow or stop plant growth and thus suppress plant quality. Root-rotted plants are usually smaller, less vigorous, produce fewer and/or small leaves, flowers, and fruit than healthy plants of equal age. Flowering may be delayed when the plant's roots are rotted. As a result, the crop quality is very uneven. Root rots must be managed early in the disease if the losses are to be avoided.

Busy Lizzie problem - impatiens downy mildew disease killing plants

Busy Lizzie hanging baskets – a thing of the past?

I’ve been doing a lot of gardening question time roadshows recently, and one question that regularly comes up is: “What’s wrong with my busy Lizzies – they’re dying?”The answer, sadly, is a disfiguring disease that is killing busy Lizzies (impatiens) all over the UK. Impatiens downy mildew is a relatively new disease. It was first discovered in the UK in 2003, but there was never a real problem with it until a couple of years ago. But this year, probably encouraged by the cool, damp summer weather, it has run riot in gardens – killing plants wherever it
