Garden Disease Control

Why You'll Love Yates' Range of Garden Disease Control Products

Disease can occur in all areas of your garden, from lawns to flowers and trees. Garden disease comes from plant pathogens such as fungi, Root Rots, bacteria or viruses, and can be spread by insects, through soil or contact, or by wind and rain.

How to Spot Disease

Patchy, holey leaves; brown or yellow grass; and white, black, orange or yellow spores on flowers and leaves can all be signs of disease.

How to Treat Disease

Fungal-diseased plants or grass in your garden are treated with fungicides, although viral diseases can only be eradicated by removing the plant altogether. Before treating plants with a fungicide, remove damaged flowers or leaves first, then apply disease control to the leaves of a plant or round the base, depending on the disease.
