How to Manage Pests

Pests in Gardens and Landscapes

Edema

Edema is a physiological disorder. Symptoms usually occur on the lower leaf surfaces. Yellowish brown or rust-color galls appear on leaves. Galls may take on a rough or corky appearance.

Solutions

Damage is aesthetic and does not threaten plant health. Low temperatures, high humidity, high soil moisture, and low nutrition favor the disorder. If possible, reduce humidity and soil moisture. Maintain a proper fertilization program.
