Brown spot is one of the diseases of Rhododendron. When planting, the Rhododendron should be ventilated and translucent. When the disease leaves are found, they should be removed in time. In the early stage of the disease, a little Bordeaux can be sprayed. Yellow disease occurs in the area where the soil is slightly alkaline. From the source, it can reduce the alkalinity of the soil and spray a little acid material. A. breviflora is one of the common pests of Rhododendron. It is sprayed with Baume 0.5 degree stone sulfur mixture once in the middle and late October and early spring March.

Prevention and control: when planting, we need to pay attention to ventilation and light transmission of Rhododendron, so as to reduce the possibility of disease. If the diseased leaves are found, they need to be removed in time, and then burned together. In the early stage of the disease, a little Bordeaux can be sprayed.
