Identification
Roots soften and die back - usually associate with a foal smell.
Symptoms
- Wilting, yellow or sparse foliage
- Branch dieback
Biological treatment
Improving soil drainage can greatly reduce the risk of plants succumbing to the disease.
Where the disease is new or localised in the garden, affected plants should be destroyed and the soil from the root-run replaced with fresh topsoil. Replanting should be done with less susceptible species.
Chemical treatment
Sterilise water in hydroponics/soil in potplants
