Stop rust on currants: what causes the disease

1

Orange spots are called rust, that appear on currant leaves – this indicates the presence of a disease.

There can be several reasons for “rusting”, and we can effectively overcome some of them.

Details

First of all, you should avoid planting bushes near swamps and groundwater.

Rust can appear after heavy rain and grass residues that have not been removed from last year.

What else currants don't like

Rust can appear due to the neighborhood with swamp grasses – especially the bushes do not like sedge, which can cause goblet rust.

Column rust develops through conifers and plants, if they grow nearby.

Do not forget the importance of destroying pests – mites, aphids, currant gall. They make the plant weak, which is indirectly the cause of the disease.

An experienced gardener knows the importance of eliminating the neighborhood with plants that share diseases and pests.
