Non-Chemical Management
- Plant only in deep, well-drained soil.
- Correct drainage if water puddles near plants.
- Use resistant species or cultivars, such as Hall or Sargent crabapples and certain rhododendron species and varieties. Avoid planting susceptible plants into soil where root rot has been a problem.
- Do not move infected plants, plant debris, or infested soil to other areas.
- Destroy infected plant material including roots when feasible.
