How to Treat EnteroBacteria (Soft Rot) on Dragon Fruit
« on: September 10, 2020, 10:35:06 AM »
I've tried cutting off infected ends, using systemic and foliar fungicide, and fertilizing. It keeps coming at me.  Is there a treatment I don't know about? It's spreading to all my plants

I just bought a gallon of sulfur. I’ll try that as a foliar and see what happens

More drainage, less watering is the answer to less rotting.  Some types are worse than others for this.  Maybe try a less prone variety.  Which types have the problem?

All. I have 13 varieties. Drainage not and issue. Rain has been substantial for months
