What do creepers suffer from?

Table of contents

Many gardeners and gardeners plant climbers in the spring.The first disease to infect these plants immediately after planting is root and stem rot, caused by several species of fungi of the genera Fusarium, Pythium, Botrytis and Rhizoctonia.Rooted cuttings begin to wilt and die.

The stem shows brown discoloration. Infested plants can be easily lifted out of the soil. After taking it out, we can see brown discoloration on the roots. Plants with symptoms should be removed and burned.Neighboring plants without symptoms should be sprayed with plant protection products.

-If you propagate creepers from seeds, dress them with seed dressing. After emergence or after planting young plants, they can be preventively sprayed with a biostimulator. Diseases that occur on vines in the later stages of development are powdery mildew, gray mold, anthracnose and leaf blotches.

Erysiphales powdery mildew infects many species of ornamental plants. It is a very easy disease to spot. Usually, the first symptoms appear in the middle of summer, but sometimes they may appear earlier. Initially, a delicate white mycelium bloom appears on the leaves.Later the mycelium grows and can cover the entire leaf surface. The leaf twists, turns brown and dries up.Sometimes the bloom can also appear on the green shoot. With time, the coating becomes dirty white and you can see tiny black points - the fruiting bodies of the fungus.

The fungus hibernates on fallen infested leaves and on shoots. Fallen leaves should be collected and infested shoots should be cut out if possible. After noticing the first symptoms, spray the plants with chemical preparations.

Gray mold caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea is a very dangerous disease. It can infect plants at any stage of development. It is the cause of seedling gangrene, root rot and root rot.In older plants, especially in conditions conducive to disease development (frequent rainfall and temperature fluctuations), it causes browning and dieback of shoot tips.May also cause leaf and flower blotches.

The leaf spots are watery and brown, and when it is damp and warm, a gray dusty coating of the spore stems appears on the surface.When the first symptoms appear, the plants should be sprayed with plant protection products.Infested should be removed and burned. It is not allowed to sprinkle the plants between rainfalls, because it creates favorable conditions for the development of the disease.

Often, spots of various sizes and shapes appear on the leaves of vines, most often caused by fungi belonging to several genera: Alternaria, Ascochyta, Cercospora, Phoma, Septoria, Ramularia.The first symptoms of leaf spot are noticeable in late spring. Round, sometimes zoned spots, usually dark brown in color, appear on the leaves.Infected leaves dry up and fall off prematurely.Leaf spot fungi hibernate on fallen leaves, so rake and burn the leaves.

A spot-like disease is anthracnose caused by the fungus Colletotrichum gleosporioides. Ivy is often affected by this disease. Round or oval grayish spots with distinct zoning appear on the leaves.Concentrally arranged clusters of spores form on the surface of the spots.A good way to combat blotch and anthracnose is to use an appropriate preparation.
