Good where infection is very severe, the box is not of high value, or it threatens other box plantings.)

Clip in dry weather where possible to avoid spreading undetected infections

The fungicide tebuconazole with trifloxystrobin (Provanto Fungus Fighter Plus, Toprose Fungus Control & Protect) has a recommendation for the control of leaf spots on ornamental plants. Additionally, the fungicides tebuconazole (Provanto Fungus Fighter Concentrate) and triticonazole (Fungus Clear Ultra) are labelled for the control of other diseases on ornamental plants, and could therefore be used legally on Cornus(at the owner’s risk) to try and control anthracnose. Fungicides are made of a mixture of ingredients, in which case active ingredients are sourced from different fungicide classes. For instance, you can have ingredients from the Triazole fungicide class that function to inhibit enzymes crucial in fungi sterol-production; combined with those from the strobilurin class that are locally systematic and hurts fungal respiration.Removing some or all of the affected areas will reduce the amount of inoculum and improve the chances of healthy recovery. Prioritise your plantings; removing infected, less important, plantings may safeguard prized plantings. Through the removal of infected stems and leaves and promptly burning them; hard pruning shoots and burning them; and use of organically acceptable sulphur. In addition, the following mixes have been found to be effective. Be sure to follow the outlined instructions from the manufacturer to the letter, including how and when to use the fungicide. For instance, if it’s recommended for use between March and September; or whether it needs to be applied using a clean garden pressure sprayer. Pros Provide good drainage, but water regularly during dry periods (plants suffering from regular but intermittent drought-stress are more susceptible). Application of mulch may help water retention

Good where infection is severe but is in a position where you want totry to save thebox feature (e.g. part of a parterre) or where you do not wish to apply fungicides. This more drastic approach aims is to remove all infected tissues to maximise the chances of removing all inoculum.) Consider whether the design of the garden is optimal. Alternative plants may be preferable in high risk areas

There is anecdotal evidence that the disease varies in severity from year to year, so raking up and destroying infected leaves may be helpful in reducing the amount of infection in the following year However, when dealing with the need to stop or slow down a fungal infection; you’re better off settling for a fungicide with more curative properties regardless of its protection period. That’s following the short application interval that overrides the need for long-term protection. Do not over-fertilise (especially not too much nitrogen) as succulent growth is particularly susceptible

Pour liquid from the dosing chamber into the sprayer and make up to 1 litre with water. This will treat a lawn area of up to 20m²Something else I like about Fungus Fighter Plus is that it’s safe to use around insects and other beneficial organisms, making it a safe choice that won’t disrupt your garden’s ecosystem.
