How To Treat Anthracnose Disease

Picture
You may know it as twig blight or shoot. It affects a host of trees, shrubs, and other plants. Fighting an anthracnose disease can be a harrowing process, leaving homeowners asking, "How do you treat anthracnose successfully?" Realizing which plants get anthracnose and how to stop it could go a long way in efficient anthracnose control.

Anthracnose Disease Information 

Anthracnose is a disease that tends to attack the leaves of plants in the springtime when the temperature is cool. Rainy, cold weather makes the ideal conditions for the spores to spread. 

Hot and dry weather halt the spread of the disease that might start again once the weather conditions become most favorable. The issue could be recurring but is hardly deadly. The sunken, dark lesions might appear on fruits, stems, and flowers. 

To differentiate between anthracnose and other diseases, you must inspect underneath the leaves for several brown dots around the size of a pinhead. If you aren't sure how to diagnose anthracnose disease, consult a tree care professional. 

Plants That Get Anthracnose
A host of plants may be affected by anthracnose fungi, such as those grown outside of a greenhouse, like tropical plants and woody ornamentals. Potted plants and greenhouse crops, including palms, cyclamen, yuccas, lupine, and succulents, are affected.

Trees that are susceptible to anthracnose include sycamore, walnut, maple, oak, camellia, ash, and azalea. 

Treating Anthracnose 
Anthracnose disease control starts with performing good sanitation. Get rid of all diseased plant parts, including leaves and branches, from the ground around the plant. This task stops the fungus from spreading close to the plant. 

Correct pruning methods to eliminate plants of dead wood also aids with stopping anthracnose fungus. 

Keep your plants healthy by giving the right amount of fertilizer, water, and light, strengthening the plant's ability to fight fungus attacks. Stressed plants have a hard time recuperating from anthracnose fungus. Chemical treatments aren't used except when the disease affects freshly transplanted plants or frequent defoliation.
