Pests, Diseases and Cures

I had buds disappearing year before last, found out it was earwigs. So if its in a pot check underneath and give it a good soaking they should run out of the holes in the bottom. They will return though.Why for the sake of your neighbours, is it your plant or theirs? Sounds deliberate tbh,...

Hello I would appreciate some help. I have a hedge, some of it is healthy and strong but others have yellowing leaves which fall. What can I do to help it.

I used Westland Plant Rescue to get rid of scab on an apple tree and I think it would work on rust. I've a suspicion it's on the 'withdrawn list' but you might be able to get hold of some. The active chemical in it is Difenoconazole which as far as I know in now only available to commercial growers.

Thanks all, I'll give these a go

@Hywel Griffiths Rust on Broadbeans is unsightly,but tends not to affect yields. Discoloured leafs in carrot can be caused by carrot fly, need to keep the carrot fly off with fine mesh or similar. Tomato leaf curling can be caused by cold nights although this year a lot of tomatoes have not...

I have five Buddleia cuttings (taken last year) that have been growing extremely well this year, but some of the new growing tips developed a problem where the very tip of the growing shoot (and its tiny leaves) died, turned brown and the shoot stopped growing. The rest of the affected plants...

ok thanks Sian I'll let my brother know

Try training them. If it's successful you'll become famous.

Fair point, will try disbudding one plant and see how its compares to the others over the next few weeks.

If you can't get them outdoors you need maximum ventilation as I should imagine it's way too hot for onions inside a greenhouse. What's the max temperature in there?As pete says RSM don't like humidity but neither do onions.I have never successfully got rid of RSM on my tropicals inside a...

Good morning @GenghistheDog my friend no worries ,you are always most welcome

It's got a waxy coating which sheds weedkiller, you need to bruise a few stems and bend them over into a pot of neat roundup. Cover it to keep the rain out and let the plant absorb it.
