Because of improper maintenance, dahlia may develop powdery mildew. It is necessary to strengthen maintenance at the usual time. After removing the disease leaves, it will be sprayed with zein or spray. Flower rot is also one of the diseases. During planting, plants should be ventilated and transparent. After flower buds appear, spray 0.5% Bordeaux solution every 7-10 days. Dusk moth is one of the main pests. During the period from June to September, it sprays trichlorfon every 20 days.

I. powdery mildew

Symptoms: the disease is serious from September to November, when the high temperature and humidity promote the occurrence of the disease. After the disease, the plant grows short, causing the surface of the leaves to become uneven and even curly. After some flower buds are damaged, they can not bloom, or abnormal flowers are produced. After serious disease, the leaves can dry up, even the whole plant dies.

Prevention and control: generally, it is necessary to strengthen the maintenance, promote the growth of the plant, and improve the ability of disease resistance. We should also control the application of water and increase the application of phosphate fertilizer. After the onset of the disease, it is necessary to remove the disease leaves in time, and then spray zein or TOBU spray to prevent and cure it.
