White Tip Disease
(Phytophthora porri)
This is another fungal infection
which usually appears from late summer through the winter. Symptoms
are a white die back of the leaf tips, white patches appearing on other
parts of the leaf and stem, and stunted growth. Infected leaves look
watery, thin and papery, eventually they rot away.
Besides looking
unpleasant, infected leeks wilt quickly and will not keep at all. Badly infected leeks should be removed and destroyed, and the remainder
sprayed fortnightly with a fungicide until all the white patches
disappear.

GardenAction provides the amateur gardener with lots of
information for free. If you would like to donate some money
to us, DON'T!
Instead, we ask that make a small
donation to a very worthwhile charity. Money contributed
up to mid July 2008 will go to CAMDA and CDPF.
You donate direct to them by supporting a GardenAction author
in his attempt to travel from England to Mongolia at his own
expense. You donate direct to the charity. Even a couple of
pounds will be greatly appreciated.
