How to fix Root Rot? Root Rot Treatment For Trees is a common fungal infection that affects tree roots. It can cause the tree to become unstable and eventually die. If you catch root rot early, there are steps you can take to treat it and protect your tree.
One solution is to use a fungicide. Fungicides can be applied either through the soil or as a foliar spray. Fungicides can be made with a variety of chemicals, but synthetic fungicides tend to be more effective in treating root rot. Fungicide is sprayed on the tree's foliage and coats the leaves enough that when the fungus tries to grow it will attach itself to the chemical and die within hours or days. Fertilizer can increase tree susceptibility to root rot, and you should avoid fertilizing your tree until the fungus is gone. Fungicide spray will also kill any healthy fungi that grow on the leaves or needles of a tree, so do not use it when the weather is windy and bring it in after about 3 weeks when you won't have to worry about wind. Fungicide should be applied in the early spring, before the tree's buds open for the year. It is also a good idea to fertilize your tree after its leaves have dropped for winter.
