Refresh my memory please. As I recall you injected this into the rotted
tissue, correct?
On August 15 of this year I dug a broad sample of rhizomes from 50 different
varieties. Prior to Aug 15 there had been no rain for 3 weeks. I did not wash
the rhizomes or treat them with any type of disinfectant. They were dirt free
for practical purposes. All rhizomes were given a careful and therough visual
inspection. All were firm and had no visual indications of rot. Some had
foliage trimmed and some did not. They were then stored inside, moisture
free, in an uncrowded cardboard container. Today Oct. 1, the rhizomes were
taken outside for planting. One rhizome had soft rot. It was an untrimmed
rhizome.
This closely parallels your experience with storing of purchased rhizome
except we know how these were treated start to finish.
