Plant disease

For a lover of plants, it is sad to see a plant getting sick. The leaves have blemishes that certainly affects the health of the plant. Unlike animals that have the vet doctor for consultation, a gardener has nowhere to go. Sometimes the plant dies just like that with no solution on hand.

The usual enemies of plants are the parasites like the aphids. For the trees, they can also be victims of termites. There’s also the so called borer insects like the weevil that ruins the stems.  Lately I discovered that a certain fungus can kill the plant. The fungus had manifested its presence by killing some strawberry plants. For a gardener, he has to learn about the disease or the health issues of plants merely by experience.
