How to cure leaf spots easily and effectively?

strategies r:--Live with the diseaseLeaf spots are largely an aesthetic problem as few leaf spots seriously damage the host. Also control is seldom achieved after the infection has started. Remove infected leaves and dead twigsRaking up and disposing of infected leaves as they drop and pruning out dead twigs can help control the disease by removing spores that can reinfect the new leaves. This will not cure the problem but it can help minimize infections. Keep foliage dryAvoid overhead watering. Use soaker hoses or water early in the day so the foliage can dry before night. Watering can also spread the disease by splashing. Prune plants and space plants to allow for good air circulation that promotes rapid drying of foliage. Keep plants healthySince most plants can tolerate some defoliation, keep them in good health so they can rebound quickly. Avoid over fertilization as it promotes a flush of young leaves that are more susceptible to attack by insects and disease. Use fungicides wiselyIn rare cases of severe infection where the size and value of plants make it practical, applications of fungicides may be helpful. Generally fungicidal control is warranted if: Repeated defoliations occur in one year or subsequent years The plant is under stress The plant is in decline The plant is a needled evergreen The disease is black spot of roses. Sprays will not cure the infection but protect leaves from becoming infected. To be effective fungicidal sprays must be begun at bud break before symptoms are noted and be continued at intervals specified by the label (usually 10 to 14 days) through the period of spring rains. Spraying after infection is present will provide little benefit. Recommendations will vary with the disease and fungicide used. It is always good practice to have the disease identified before purchasing a control product. See table 1 for a general listing of active ingredients listed for control of various leaf spotting fungi. Replace the plant. For plants that chronically are plagued by leaf spots, gardeners find it more convenient to replace a plant with a different species or a variety that is more resistant or tolerant of disease. A nursery can help you in your selection.
