Chapter 57 Why flowers are infected with pests and diseases, and how to deal with them

In the plant kingdom, almost every plant will be infected with diseases and insect pests, but some are not obvious, and the damage of diseases and insect pests is relatively light.Flowers are no exception. The main causes of infection with pests are as follows.

(1) Because the surrounding environment or the flowers and plants themselves contain pathogenic bacteria and pests, the plants are always in a dangerous environment that will be attacked at any time. Once the conditions are suitable, the pests and diseases will show up.

(2) Flowers grow under unfavorable environmental conditions, their growth potential is weak, they have no resistance, they cannot prevent the invasion of pests and germs, and they are prone to symptoms and damage.

(3) Flowers grow in an unfavorable environment, and it is easy to spread pathogens and pests.Therefore, in the process of flower production and cultivation, we should not wait for the flowers to be infected before spraying pesticides. We should always prepare pesticides and spray them regularly, so that germs and pests will be eliminated in time, and the probability of flowers being infected with pests and diseases will be greatly reduced.Once the flowers are found to be infected with pests, rescue measures should be taken in time.First of all, the branches or leaves with serious pests and diseases on the plants should be cut off to cut off the source of infection.Then use appropriate pesticides to spray on the plants to prevent and eliminate diseases and insect pests.

In addition to timely spraying and control, good management of plants infected with pests is also very important.However, it should be noted that the growth potential of the damaged plants is very weak at this time, and the metabolism in the body is often out of balance.Therefore, do not place the plants in a strong light and high temperature environment. It is best to move the plants to a dark place to maintain a suitable temperature.At the same time, watering must be very careful, the amount of watering should be reduced, let alone fertilization.After a period of careful management, until it grows new branches and leaves and shows signs of complete recovery, normal maintenance and management will be carried out.
