Plant Health Virtual Conference Lightning Round: Black Root Rot

Have you wondered why you have uneven crops of pansy or calibrachoa, with yellowing and purpling on stunted plants? Or are some of your vincas just not saleable?

Learn how to recognize it, what it can infect, how it sticks around, what conditions it likes, and how you can fight back against it. SPEAKER: MARGERY DAUGHTREY, CORNELL UNIVERSITY
