| ANTHRACNOSE, AMERICAN: Glomerella Cincta Most common on leaves; weakened plants are most susceptible; brown discoloration round in shape, possibly sunken; cut off parts, spray with benomyl, 1 ttpg; repeat in a week; or, spray with zineb, captan or ferbam; avoid sun-scald; avoid high nitrogen; to prevent on new flowers spray with 1:2,000 Natriphene + drop of detergent.

| ANTHRACNOSE, AMERICAN: Glomerella Sp. + Colletotrichum Sp. The latter stages attack above-ground; brown discoloration, round or irregular, more or less sunken, rather sharply defined; spore pustules show in dead areas on leaf or flower. AH29 | 0 |

A66-480; AH29Spots on leaves yellowish or light green, then light brown, dotted with spore-bearing structures of concentric rings; with humidy, rose-colored spores ooze out; cut off and burn; spray with benomyl at 1 ttpg.; repeat in a week; or with ferbam, captan or zineb; dip for five seconds in Natriphene 1:2,000; avoid overhead watering.
