| ROTS: Fungus or Bacterial Systemic controls that are recommended for use on seedlings or mature plants include such names as Benlate and Difolatan especially for fungal problems; Black rot and Brown rot are both caused by bacteria and they are best controlled by Truban, which is available in most nurseries.

| ROTS: On Cymbidiums This is usually Black rot; the plants can be saved by scraping all the rot off the pseudobulbs and removing the roots to allow air to inhibit the continued growth of the anaerobic bacteria which is the root of the problem. A88-35 | 0 |
