Rust: caused by the parasitism of rust in fungi, mainly endangering leaves and stems. It can be sprayed with mancozeb or chlorothalonil. Red spider: it damages the leaves of plants with adults, nymphs and larvae. It can be treated by spraying Omethoate or dicofol 800-1000 times.

II. Rust

1. Symptoms: the disease is caused by rust parasitism in fungi. It mainly damages leaves and stems, and generally only causes local infection.

In severe cases, the spores of the pathogen are densely packed, and the plants die rapidly due to the evaporation of a large amount of water in the body.

2. Control method: 70% mancozeb and 75% chlorothalonil can be used to spray the diseased plants to prevent rust.
