Diseases in the Landscape
Diseases in the Landscape
Diseases occur on landscape plants when environmental conditions are suitable
for pathogens to develop on them.
Prevention is the key to the management of disease in the
landscape.

• These fungi grow on buried wood, tree roots or other organic matter in the soil, not on the grass!
• Difficult to control; must break up the hydrophobic fungal layer in the soil.
