• Flies lay eggs at the bases of the leaves• Windy areas tend to be less prone to fly problems• Early defoliation and digging may avoid infestation• Lack of registered products to control adults at egg-
laying• Hot water treatment
Bulb Fly• Greater is a primary pest• Lesser is a secondary pest

Symptoms• Premature death of foliage• Lack of roots
Conditions that favor development• Sandy, warm soils• Survives in the soil, not on bulbs
Management• Wide host range, so cultural practices like crop rotation, fallowing, etc. are usually not effective• Soil fumigation, biofumigation, solarization

Management
• Avoid spreading infested soil and plant material
• Dig early
• Discard severely infected bulbs
• Hot water treatments
• Disinfect trays, tools, etc.
• Nematocides (?)

Basal Rot Development is Favored by:
• Planting in warm, moist soils.• Shallow planting in light textured soils.• High rates of nitrogen.• Wounds and other injuries, particularly during
digging and processing.• Slow drying of harvested bulbs.• Poor ventilation. • Storage under warm conditions.

Management of Basal Rot
• Basal rot is an extremely difficult disease to control on susceptible cultivars.• A combination of cultural practices, hot water treatment and fungicide dips are needed for control. NO SINGLE TREATMENT IS EFFECTIVE.

Cultural Management of Basal RotCultural Management1. Dig bulbs as early as practical; keep them as dry
as possible.2. Avoid wounding, bruising, and sunburning.3. Discard diseased bulbs.4. Store bulbs in thin layers under cool (55 - 60ºF) and
well-ventilated conditions.5. Reduce planting density in infected stocks.6. Plant in cool, well-drained soil as deep as practical.7. Rotate out of bulbs for 3 to 4 years.8. Plant resistant cultivars

Management of Basal Rot• Fungicide treatments are commonly recommended for controlling this disease. • Dip in fungicide shortly after digging and/or just before planting. To maximize treatment effectiveness, treat within 24 to 48 hours of digging. •Hot water treatment.

Hot Water Treatments
• When combined with a disinfectant like formaldehyde, HWT is an important all- round treatment to assist in the control of:• Nematodes• Bulb fly, mites, and aphids• Basal rot • Other fungal pathogens (Smoulder, Scorch, etc.)
![Page 21: Prevention and Management of Daffodil Diseasesdafftube.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Prevention... · Fire is a severe foliar disease on daffodils. Botryotinia (Botrytis) polyblastis](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050103/5f420edfe5b95f56e707b2da/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Hot Water Treatments• Correct storage and HWT are vital to control stem
nematode, basal rot, bulb fly, etc.• Optimum temp for the basal rot pathogen is 20-
30°C. • Ideal storage is at 17-18°C, with air circulation to
prevent fungal growth and premature rooting• ‘pre-warming’ - 2 weeks at 18°C before HWT
reduces HWT damage and extends the safe window for HWT
• Late-June to mid-August for 4 hours at 43-44°C (110-111°F)
• Bulbs are treated whether or not infested (or suspected) with stem nematode. Pre-soaking bulbs increases effectiveness against heat-tolerant nematodes
• There is always a temptation to shorten the duration used!

Hot Water Treatment• To prevent the spread of basal rot spores during the hot water treatment of bulbs formaldehyde is typically added to kill spores.• Chlorine dioxide is an effective replacement for formaldehyde. ISOLATE
