Re: [aroid-l] Amorphophallus tuber disease& sulphur

Hi Again:

Oops. Good eyes Ron. That should read "... you need to get all the _mycelia_ out of the tuber ..." , that being the vegetative part of the fungus consisting of fine threadlike hyphae that can invade good tissue and help break it down incurring further necrosis.


Hi,
I noticed that you mentioned "Mycorrhizae" as the cause of the tuber rot. I
am not aware that the mycorrhizae fungus has a negative effect on tubers or
roots.  If it does, I would like to know about it.    Ron

 Scott;

 I do not have paeoniifolius unfortunately(I only wish), however I do
 have various species of bulbs, tuber and rhizomes, aroid & non-aroid,
 and have used sulphur on all of them for fungal and bacterial disease
 with a good amount of success. Fungus can be difficult inasmuch as
 you need to get all the mycorrhizae out of the tuber as the sulphur

 will only act on the surface of the cut part.
