Prevention and treatment of irises

Irises are quite unpretentious , but with improper care they can get sick . It is important to identify the disease in a timely manner in order to save the flower and neighboring plantings.

It is necessary to carefully monitor the foliage and rhizomes of irises. If you notice signs of rot on the iris sections, it must be treated with modern antifungal agents that allow you to treat irises without digging them out of the ground.

The rotted iris is filled with antifungal agent       After processing   The iris continues to grow.

If you do not have modern means of combating fungal diseases, the rotted part of the iris should be carefully cut off, the affected area should be treated with a Maxim solution and sprinkled with ash, and the plant should be monitored for some time. If this procedure does not help, you should dig out the entire iris bush, remove the rotted areas and etch the roots in a solution of potassium permanganate or Maxim and dry in the sun. Last year's leaves on plants should be cut off and burned, as they may contain pests.

To avoid the appearance of pests on your irises, do preventive spraying with pesticides (alatar, tanrek or malathion) at least twice a month.
