Controls the following diseases:
Black Spot (Scientific Name: Diplocarpon rosae)
Black spot is a fungal disease characterised by black spots on the upper side of leaves. It tends to occur in warm, wet weather usually during wet summers.
The leaves of the infected flowers turn yellow and fall off. This weakens the plant by making it more susceptible to other diseases or opening it up to injury for
the next winter. The organism responsible for black spot spreads quickly and can move from plant to plant if proper care is not taken.
Anthracnose (Scientific name: Colletotrichum spp.)
Anthracnose is a fungal disease that can harbour in dead and living tissue, commonly effecting avocado and mango trees. It is first seen as light brown to
black patches on leaves and fruit which quickly get darker and larger. There is no particular pattern, they can are seen as blotches or spots on leaves
and fruit, and may have a slightly sunken appearance. The black markings that appear superficially on the fruit, can spread inside the fruit rotting the flesh.
Periods of warm wet weather provide perfect conditions for spores to spread.
Rust (Scientific name: Puccinia spp.)
There are many different fungi that cause the symptoms of what we call rust. It usually appears as small yellow patches or spots on the upper
surfaceof the leaf. On the underside of the leaf it appears as powdery pustules. Rusts are usually difficult to control because of the sheer number
of spores they produce that can start new infections. There are no general weather conditions that are favorable for rust fungi spores to germinate.
However, it is necessary for moisture to be present for spores to germinate.
Downy Mildew (Scientific name: Plasmopara spp.)
There are many fungi that can cause similar symptoms on different plants. Downy mildew usually appears as patches and spots that can occur on
the upper and underside of the leaf. It is usually seen as a furry growth that forms under humid conditions. It is usually a grey to light violet in colour.
The spores spread by wind or by rain or irrigation water. This disease relies on high relative humidity for growth and the spores cannot germinate or
grow under dry conditions.
