Grey mould: the pathogen mainly damages the petals of five colored plum, causing the flowers to fall off. When finding sick flowers, they should be removed in time and destroyed in a centralized way to prevent infection to other flowers. At the early stage of disease occurrence, Bordeaux liquid or park Hein and other chemicals can be sprayed for control. Leaf blight nematode: the nematode mainly damages the leaves and causes them to die. The quarantine of nematodes should be strengthened to prevent the introduction of nematodes into disease-free areas. It can spray aldicarb granules or carbofuran for control.
