Protecting Plumeria Seedlings from Fungus Gnats Fungus gnats are small, mosquito-like flies whose larvae live in moist soil and feed on organic matter and roots. In plumeria seedlings, larval feeding damages root hairs, leading to reduced water and nutrient uptake, seedling stress, and increased vulnerability to diseases. Identification and Life Cycle Damage Symptoms Environmental Factors […]

Seedling Damping-Off in Plumeria: Identification, Prevention, and Control Damping-off is a widespread and destructive disease complex that kills plumeria seedlings before or shortly after emergence. Prompt recognition and preventative cultural practices are vital to minimize losses and promote healthy seedling establishment. Understanding Damping-Off Symptoms Favoring Conditions Prevention Control Measures

Seedling Rot in Plumeria: Causes, Symptoms, and Management Seedling rot, encompassing root and stem rot conditions, is a major impediment to successful plumeria propagation. It results from soilborne pathogens attacking tender seedling tissues, causing decay that undermines plant stability and nutrient uptake.
