KEPBEPOS Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) I am Growing sarracenia almost 7 years now without any serious problem but from Autom of 2016 a nightmare begins...Some of my sarracenia infected with botrytis(propably somehow from our vineyards ).Fist I let the pots almost dry and I increase the air movement after I was start to searching for a good chemical fungicide I begin with NEOTOPSIN 70 WG but very soon I saw some good results in infected plants but not in spores wich they can widely spread with the weaker movement of air.... so more plants infected! I made a research and I find that maybe trichoderma helps I made one applies per week for 3 weeks no results.. (careful with trichoderma grains becouse it contain very hight ammout of salts and increase the ppm of water...). I finaly find some ecological treatment from Bayer Serenade Max WP botrytis special design to stop botrytis spores and reduce the infection .After 2 months and 4 applies the new plants infections stoped and some of infeced overcome!!!I must say that after the spraying Bayer Serenade Max WP a thin withe layer cover the plant and prevent the spores to propagate and spread! Finaly I aslo tested on Drosera filiformis with excellent results! I hope to be helpful those results!

picol Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi, how does the growing points look? I'm asking this because in the past years had the same problem with botrytis . But in my case was a consequence of some root rot or rizhome cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEPBEPOS Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Well the groing points looks very well before the infection without any rot or cancer due to they were almost all small to medium plants and they were seeds grown 3-4 years old.

partisangardener Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Look for chemicals with the ingredients Cyprodinil in addition with Fludioxonil, here in Germany it runs under the name of Botrysan, allowed for strawberries and grapes. It worked for all plants I used it. Lilies and Sarracenia with heavy frost damage included. Though I have not used it now for some years. It prevents spores to spread very effective and kills the mould. Edited February 24, 2017 by partisangardener spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
