thielaviopsis root rot on Date Palm

Quick answer

If your Date Palm has thielaviopsis root rot, the most likely cause is: Thielaviopsis paradoxa causes black root rot in date palms; disease severity follows DS% = -3.64 + 1.17*temp - 0.022*temp², showing peak severity near 27°C; produces dark melaninized spores that persist in soil for extended periods

Start here:

  1. 1. 1. Remove and destroy severely infected palms; do not compost infected root material
  2. 2. 2. Apply 3000ppm thyme oil nanoemulsion as pre-planting root dip for 20 minutes

Why Date Palm gets thielaviopsis root rot

Thielaviopsis paradoxa causes black root rot in date palms; disease severity follows DS% = -3.64 + 1.17*temp - 0.022*temp², showing peak severity near 27°C; produces dark melaninized spores that persist in soil for extended periods

How to reverse thielaviopsis root rot on Date Palm

  1. 1
