Diseases and pests in the laburnum
The laburnum is a beautiful and fragrant shrub for gardens and parks - and a particularly easy-care. He is also robust against diseases and pest infestation. Nevertheless, one or the other ailments can occur.
Laburnum - beautiful and robust
From a horticultural point of view, the laburnum, latin Laburnum, is a very grateful ornamental shrub. He makes little claims to its location and still brings every year a beautiful and intensely fragrant flowers. It is also great that he is very little susceptible to diseases and pests. And if he gets sick or is attacked by parasites, it usually does not cause him much trouble. Through many ailments, he comes from his own strength and needs no special treatment.
Possible diseases and pests that should be treated are:
galena
The galena is a fungal disease, which is noticeable by a gray color of the leaves. As with most diseases that can affect the laburnum, the cause of galena is usually too wet and cold soil. Avoid excessive watering in any case. As a rule, the laburnum comes out without any additional water.
activities
Sir, you will remove the galena by infesting shoots with a clean knife to be cleaned repeatedly between cuts. Seal the interfaces best.
spider mites
The small red, yellowish or greenish spider mites are visible to the naked eye - and, above all, they coat their plant host with their silvery strands of thread. They suck on the plant, usually sitting on the undersides of the leaves, and can weaken them.
aphids
Even aphids are visible to the naked eye and are characterized by their black to green or yellowish-orange color and a floury topping. Also aphids suck the juice of their plant host.
Measures for pests
Both in spider mites, as well as aphids, you can on the one hand thoroughly search the laburnum and remove the affected shoots as completely as possible. Again, we recommend a cut seal.
Instead of the mechanical removal and avoiding the pruning, the laburnum can not tolerate, you can of course also use an insecticide. Ecologically beneficial and environmentally friendly is the targeted use of beneficial organisms such as predatory mites or gall bladder, which you can purchase from specialist retailers. With leaf lice also lacewings or ladybug larvae are suitable.
