The main diseases of Lycium barbarum are anthrax, root rot, powdery mildew and gummosis. Small black spots or brown spots will appear after anthrax, and the residual branches and diseased branches need to be cut off, and then burned intensively; the root rot pathogen can use organic fertilizer to overwinter through the diseased parts of plants or diseased branches in the land; the powdery mildew can be controlled by improving the fertility of the land.

Anthracnose

Symptom characteristics

Wolfberry anthracnose is also called black fruit disease. When the fruit is blue, there will be small black spots or brown spots on the surface of the fruit. If it is cloudy and rainy, the spots will become larger, causing the whole fruit to become black.

Onset time

This kind of disease often occurs in the rainy season, but in the dry season, the disease is mild and spreads slowly.

Prevention and control measures

Qingyuan. In early spring or late autumn, clean up the stumps and diseased branches of the wolfberry garden, and then burn them intensively.

Select planting varieties. As far as possible, select varieties with strong disease resistance.

Rational farming. The purpose is to remove the grass roots, bacteria and insect pests that overwinter in winter.

Timely watering. Appropriate watering. Pay attention to the water and the temperature in the field, which can control the growth of bacteria.

Suitable fertilizer. Lycium barbarum is mainly composed of organic fertilizer, supplemented by microelement fertilizer needed by plants, which can increase the disease resistance of plants.

Trim reasonably and timely.

Root rot disease

Symptom characteristics

As the name implies, the root rot of Lycium barbarum does not rot, and the diseased plants show yellow leaves and drooping leaves.

Onset conditions

When the conditions are suitable for the second year, the pathogen enters the plant and causes the disease. The pathogen usually spreads with the rainfall and irrigation water. Most of the cases began in the middle and late of April to June, and spread in July and August.

Preventive measures

Irrigation. Drip irrigation should be used as much as possible, so as to not only ensure the moisture of the land, but also regulate the watering time.

Apply fertilizer. It is usually based on organic fertilizer, supplemented by other fertilizers. As long as the nutritional balance of the plant can be guaranteed.

powdery mildew

Symptom characteristics

This disease is most harmful to leaves. There are white mildew spots and pink spots on the surface of the leaves. In serious cases, the whole plant is white.

Characteristics of the disease

The pathogen winter on the surface of the soil and in the winter buds of the diseased branches and shoots. In the next spring, the disease occurs when the plants are in bloom and when the fruits are just beginning to grow. When it's dry, it's more serious than when it's raining. Large temperature difference in the morning and evening is also easy to make the disease happen and spread.

Prevention and control measures

Turn the shallow surface to weed, reduce the reproduction and parasitism of bacteria, and prevent cross infection of plants.

Reasonable use of fertilizer can improve the fertility of the land and make the plants stronger.

Gummy disease

Symptom characteristics

In early spring, there were sap flow in the bark of the plant or the wound of the wounded bark. Most of them were foamy. By the time of autumn, there was no glue flow. The bark of the diseased area was burnt black, and the cortex and wood tissue were separated slowly until the plant died.

Onset conditions

Gummosis is mostly caused by machine trauma when working in the fields, bark when pruning, and pests.

Control methods

Choose the right garden shower. It is better to select sandy soil with salt content below 0.33% for Lycium barbarum. &② cultivate strong seedlings to make plants stronger. &(3) suitable fertilization and watering. Lycium barbarum is more sensitive to water and fertilizer, so as to make full use of the fertilizer in the land and give full play to the fertilizer effect as soon as possible. Generally, various kinds of mature farmyard manure are used from late October to mid November. The first watering in spring should be shallow, so that the Lycium barbarum garden does not accumulate more than four hours of clear water.
