Powdery mildew is one of the diseases. If it is serious in the later stage, it will cause the leaves to turn yellow, dry and die off. It can be sprayed with methyltobuzin and water. Leaf shrinking disease is also one of them, which will eventually lead to the decline of growth and flower reduction, and can spray tobramycin or carbendazim. Plum may also be infected with anthrax. Tobuzin or zineb can be used. Aphid is a kind of harmful insect. It can be removed by washing powder mixed with water.

I. powdery mildew

The disease often occurs in places with high humidity and no ventilation. In early spring, the new leaves and buds are easy to be infected with the pathogen. A thin layer of white powder appears in the affected parts, and then yellow or black particles grow on the white powder layer, and the leaves turn yellow and dry and die in the later stage. You can spray it with water.

2. Leaf shrinkage disease

The disease occurs from March to May. The pathogen mainly damages the buds and leaves of plum blossom, causing the leaves to shrink and the surface of the leaves to become rough. When it is serious in the later stage, the growth of trees will become weak and the flowers will be reduced. You can spray a little tobuzine or carbendazim every other week, about 3-4 times after the cure.

III. anthrax

In the leaves and branches of plum blossom, there are brown round spots on the leaves at the beginning, and then the spots expand to gray or gray white. In the later stage, the middle part of the spots is easy to be broken, which will make the leaves fall down. At the beginning of the disease, you can spray two kinds of drugs, tobuzin or zineb.

IV. aphid

Aphids are more harmful, but sensitive to dichlorvos and other pesticides, so they can be removed by washing powder mixed with water.
