Sudden death of fruit tree and Gumosis disease of Citrus and Fruit plant | Agriculture Expert

Gumosis Symptoms include rotted roots; cracked bark, accompanied by gumming. Water-soaked, reddish-brown to black bark at the soil line. Discolored tissue in the lower trunk. Yellowing, sparse foliage and death of the tree.  Excess soil moisture favors production and spread of zoospores.  Therefore, increased drainage and careful irrigation is an important factor in disease management. Resistant Rootstock Cultural Control Plant trees on high enough so that the first lateral roots are just covered with soil. Organically Acceptable Methods Cultural controls and copper treatments are acceptable for use on organically certified citrus.
