Anthrax is one of the main diseases of Camellia. In winter, cut off the diseased branches and leaves, and spray a little Bordeaux liquid at the beginning. Rust ticks are very difficult to remove pests in Camellia. Chlorothalonil and dicofol can be used to spray, and infected leaves can be cut off in time. The scale insect is also one of the insect pests. If the degree of damage is relatively light, it can be removed manually first, dip a cotton ball with a little alcohol, and then rub the insect down.

I. anthrax

Symptoms: anthrax is one of the main diseases of Camellia, with a very high incidence. At the onset of the disease, there will be the edge, tip and both sides of the vein of the leaf. At first, there will be dark green stripes, and then expand into irregular large spots. The color will also change from brown to black. At the serious stage, the whole leaf will have problems, leading to a large number of leaves falling.

Prevention and control: in winter, the diseased branches and leaves should be cut off, and the diseased leaves should be completely removed. At the beginning of the disease, a little Bordeaux can be sprayed.
