The common diseases of Malachite grass include brown spot and powdery mildew, which are fungal diseases. It is necessary to pay attention to drainage, remove the diseased branches and leaves, burn the remaining branches, and spray fungicides such as Fenning rust in time. Red spider is the main pest, which can strengthen the cultivation and management. In the early stage of pest occurrence, 20% dicofol EC can be sprayed 500-600 times for control.

Red spider

Symptoms: the red spider mainly sucks the stem juice of Malachite grass, causing damage to chlorophyll and yellowing of leaves, which will cause the leaves to fall off or even fall off when seriously injured.

Prevention and control: if only a few leaves are damaged, we can remove them directly. If the damage is serious, we need to spray 1500 times of 40% dimethoate emulsion to the plants for prevention and control, so as to eliminate the pests at one time.
