These tulips diseases should have gardeners on the bill
Their poison content does not prevent tulips from infection. Some pathogens do not shy away from pressing your lovingly tended spring messengers. What these are, how to fight and prevent them are given in the following lines.
Tulip fire makes the flowers rot
Within the world-wide gray mold genus, the pathogen Botrytis tulipae has specialized in the infestation of tulips. The consequences are correspondingly fatal. The leaves appear crippled on budding and are covered with greyish-brown, foul spots. Infected specimens are lost and need to be disposed of to prevent further spread. To effectively prevent the cunning mushroom spore:
The name tulip fire is due to the fact that the disease spreads rapidly in wet weather, the flowers seem like sunk by the fire.
Fusarium onion blight brings tulips prematurely
If brown, sharply delineated spots appear on tulip bulbs, this symptom sets us in high alert. Now it will not be long before the whole bulbs are covered with a white-pink mushroom coating. The infected flower is sick, the leaves turn yellow and the flowers wither. Unfortunately, the disease already hits the camp, leaving behind black, shrunken mummies. How to prevent the dilemma:
Avoid any injury to tulip bulbs as the pathogens lurk on such an occasion. Please store the tubers always airy, dry and cool.
