Rat & Mouse Traps

Plant fungus is common but, luckily, usually easy to treat. Among the most common types of plant fungus are black spot, mildew, blight, and rust. Black spot is identifiable by dark spots on the leaves and is particularly common in roses. Mildew is best treated by removing and destroying affected areas before treating with a fungicide. Known to affect potato and tomato crops, plants affected by blight must also be destroyed to stop the fungus from spreading. Finally, rust is identifiable, as the name suggests, by rust-like patches forming on leaves. To treat rust, remove infected parts and apply a fungicide to prevent the fungus from coming back.

The vast range of fungicide available at Homebase provides many options when it comes to choosing something affordable and super simple to use. For complete plant protection, use fungicide alongside a weed killer treatment and use an insect control spray to manage any aphid or fly-infested plants. When treating fungal infections in plants, a plant food or nutrient-rich compost will get your garden looking its best again in no time.
