Disease and Pest Control of Millettia reticulata

Diseases and their control of Millettia repens

Millettia spatholobi is not prone to disease, but in the rainy season, there is heavy rain and the air is humid, which makes Millettia spatholobi prone to root rot.

The root rot of Cistanche deserticola is basically caused by too much water. The soil is waterlogged, which makes it difficult for the roots to breathe and cause them to rot. The branches and leaves above the ground will also rot, wither, and even die due to the rot of the roots.

When root rot occurs in Millettia reticulata, you can spray it with 1000 times diluted 50% carbendazim, which can have a certain therapeutic effect. If the root rot of Millettia reticulata is too severe to be cured, you can choose relatively intact and healthy branches to remove them for cuttings and re-propagate new Millettia reticulata.

Pests of Millettia reticulata and their control

Millettia spatholobi rarely suffers from insect pests during its growth process, but it may be attacked by small cutworms and beetle larvae.

The harm caused by cutworms and beetle larvae to Millettia reticulata mainly lies in the fact that these pests will bite the roots of Millettia reticulata, causing damage to the roots and affecting its normal growth.

When these pests are found to be endangering the health of Millettia reticulata, chemical control can be adopted, that is, spraying the medicine directly, such as using 1000~2000 times of 40% Lorsban emulsifiable concentrate or 1000 times of 75% cypermethrin emulsifiable concentrate for spraying. However, chemical drugs have certain hazards, so it is recommended to choose safer methods to deworm. For example, some methods like garlic water and tobacco water can be used. Cutworms like sweet and fragrant substances very much. Sugar, honey and wine are all attractive to them and can be used to lure and kill them. This can not only kill pests, but also avoid causing hazards such as pesticide pollution.
