Product Information

Choose resistant species. The most susceptible species are Cornus florida and C. nuttallii and, to a possibly lesser extent, C. kousa. In studies in the USA, C. controversa and C. sericea were also susceptible. Native European Cornus species in the UK appear unaffected. There is currently insufficient information available for other species Try to create an open environment – avoid overhanging plants (e.g. perennials next to a parterre) or plants that crowd around the sides of a box hedge Be sure to follow the outlined instructions from the manufacturer to the letter, including how and when to use the fungicide. For instance, if it’s recommended for use between March and September; or whether it needs to be applied using a clean garden pressure sprayer. Pros Most powdery mildew fungi have a host range restricted to a relatively few, related plants, but these can include wild relatives which can be sources of infection, e.g. wild crab apples may be sources of infection for apple orchards.

Revert to standard pruning times for box . Clip in dry weather where possible to avoid spreading undetected infections Removing some or all of the affected areas will reduce the amount of inoculum and improve the chances of healthy recovery. Prioritise your plantings; removing infected, less important, plantings may safeguard prized plantings. The FungusClear Ultra 225ml is best suited for controlling fungal infections on roses, although it’s also perfect for treating shrubs and most ornamental plants. It can even be used on plants inside the home, conservatory, and greenhouse. Pour liquid from the dosing chamber into the sprayer and make up to 1 litre with water. This will treat a lawn area of up to 20m² Destroying fallen infected leaves in autumn will reduce the amount of infectious spores next spring. Promptly pruning out infected shoots will reduce subsequent infection.

Spray the whole plant evenly until just before run-off (before drips start to form at the tips of leaves). This refers to the duration the fungicide is effective. Some offer a short protection period (weeks) while others provide a longer period of control (over 3 months). Therefore, select what best suits your circumstances.

Avoid planting box in the same place for several years (spores can remain viable on fallen leaf litter for at least 6 years) Yes, there are limitless fungicides available on the market today. Unfortunately, the chasm between the performance of established brands and conventional sprays has no Venn diagram with a bit of an overlap. Therefore, forget the price and brand, and instead, focus on crucial information and features, as outlined below.

In addition, the following mixes have been found to be effective. Powdery mildew fungi produce microscopic air-borne dispersal spores from the fungal growth on the plant surface. These have an unusually high water content, enabling them to infect under drier conditions than most other fungal pathogens.
