Bacterial? Fungus? Or other reasons?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I met a super difficult situation.

I plant some peach palms in the Southwest of China,some of them are in the pots.

One week ago,the leaves of the seedlings have turned to white,in another word,lost their green. 

First,the situation would be found in the sub new leaf,I mean,not the newest leaf.

Then,the newest leaf would be dead,the connection between the root and the stem is completely rotten.

I had thought maybe it was Bacterial or Fungus,so I used Kasugamycin and Pyraclostrobin.but the situation seemd not be improved.

More and more seedlings begun to show the situation.

I never saw this before,it seems that I could do nothing to stop the disaster.I give the suficient water and fertilizer,use the “drug”,but still too bad.

Have you seen this situation before?

I think Gerg has a point.  I would look to your cultural practices.  Too much sun?  Too much fertilizer?  Not enough air circulation?

 

After the initial damage, I think you are having secondary problems take advantage of the conditions.

So many species,

so little time.

I agree with Meg, but it's hard to say, not knowing all the background information.  To Jerry's point, we need to know how you have been growing these palms.   What are your growing conditions?

They look like they have been shadehouse grown then put into more sun than they are used too and also dried out a bit too much in the process. That’s what my first impressions are. Sun damage is in there. Maybe not the whole picture though.

At first glance I thought maybe sun damage as well, but I think she said even new growth was growing whitish.

I looked at this link and it looks very similar to what @Alicehunter2000 showed as over fertilizing damage to his A. Wrightii.

I'm certainly no expert on this but it just looks different than standard sun burn.

Scroll down to his pics of A. Wrightii seedlings.

Hey Gerg,thank you so much for your kindness.

I think it is not the sun burn,because I cultivated them in  same condition for a period,it was no problem in the past.

And the special point is the symptom showed on the sub-new leaf, not the newest,not the oldest.

Thank you Tyrone,my confuse is the symptom showed on the sub-new leaf,not the newest,not the old leaf,and the whole seedling would be die

Jerry,thank you! I use the 19-19-19 fertilizer,as usual,but I never saw the symptom before,the air and the sun are as usual also.

Hi Joe,

In China,I am in Xishuangbanna.Xishuangbanna has a tropical monsoon climate with abundant sunshine and abundant rainfall. The dry season and wet season are within one year, and the annual average temperature is 21 °C. The dry season is from November to April, and the warm season is from May to October. There is no frost and snow all year round. The foggy day is 108-146 days. In the coldest January, the average temperature here is 16 °C.

 

I used the 19-19-19 fertilizer,more or less 2 grams for each seedling.one time per month.

19-19-19 is a strong fertilizer. It would be easy to burn a seedling even if you only use a tiny amount. It would be much better to use a weak fertilizer more frequently. Seedlings do not typically require much fertilizer anyway.

When did you start fertilizing?  Fertilizer slow  release or Instant?  If all your growing parameters are consistent, I would look into fertilizer more.  Fungal or bacterial would show the damage progressing on the fronds.  This looks like a one time burn.  The damage is even across.

That is fungal, do some good rounds of Dithane M45 soakings. You are likely to loose many, as most fungicides are more preventatives than actual treatments.

Hi Johnny,

I used Water-soluble fertilizer,it means although I used 19-19-19,but I use less with more water than normal fertilizer,
