The PDFs are from the University of Florida IFAS extension library more key element deficiences, the Word Docs are Australian, general and brief but still relevant to Aussie palm growers.

Just a few more then I'm done with bloomin palms.....some general advice for the proper care and treatment of palms again from Florida, some of this repeats info in the other PDFs but it is still worth having a look at to remind you of best practice for palms.



So well done if you have read all those , here's your prize a smilie of me drinking Windhoek Lager reminiscing about the week I spent on the skeleton coast in 85' when I was supposed to be surveying a rather unpleasant road, cheers

Default Re: Unknown Diease Killing Florida Palms

Couple of PDF's

Quote:
Summary
• Texas Phoenix palm decline is a new disease in
Florida. It is caused by a phytoplasma, which is a
bacterium without a cell wall.
• The phytoplasma is similar to, but genetically
distinct from, the phytoplasma that causes lethal
yellowing (LY).
• Texas Phoenix palm decline is a systemic
disease, and the phytoplasma is probably
transmitted by a planthopper.
• Palms with greater than 25% discoloration or a
dead apical meristem (bud) due to this disease
should be removed immediately.
• Management of Texas Phoenix palm decline
includes trunk injections of oxytetracycline HCl
(OTC) every four months, and planting of palm
species that are not hosts of this phytoplasma.
• To date, the primary hosts of this phytoplasma
are Phoenix canariensis (Canary Island date
palm), Phoenix dactylifera (edible date palm)
and Phoenix sylvestris (wild date palm).
Also product supplier etc for treatment.
