I used to purchase syringes for my diabetic cat at the local pharmacy. Olivier sadly succumbed several years ago. ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2022 13:00:26 -0500 From: Tim Eck <timeck17582@gmail.com> To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Subject: [pbs] stagonospora treatment Message-ID: <CA+ur5iZm5MLdT3LBHmfk4ygoLWK-wvwX5hPsuR98W5TWBX5yZQ@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" I thought I would share a Stagonospora treatment that worked much better than expected. I used to be devastated when Hippeastrum buds would push up and then turn to the side as Stagonospora infected the stem because I knew that even if I got to see the blooms, it would rot through before the seed matured. I had bought a systemic fungicide - Bonide Infuse - in order to do some crinum chipping and I thought I'd give it a try on stagonospora, so I went online to buy some syringes (they also come in handy for other applications like oiling small fans and blowers, grandfather clocks, etc). I had little hope for the bloomstalks, but if there was a best way to apply a systemic fungicide where it would do the most good, filling up the hollow bloomstalk seemed like it. So far, I'm batting 100% as these two photos suggest. In the Jade Dragon x Emerald photo, you can see a normal bloomstalk in the background and healthy but senescent blooms in the foreground and in the stagonospora photo, you can see the extent of the damage before the fungus was stopped and two healthy seedpods. Since the fungicide dilution ratio is high, I made about a gallon of solution and have been going around dribbling it into the necks of dormant bulbs too. Good luck!

The pods continued to develop.? If necessary, I would cut off more of the bottom of the stem for better water uptake as the pod matured and the cut stem looked worn.? I can easily see how that process could really benefit from a dab of that systemic fungicide in the water.? It sure couldn't hurt! Bob?

I'm assuming he bought them without needles or removed the needles before using. I have a variety of syringes thanks to vaccinating my various animals over the years. I clean them carefully and get rid of the needles, of course. They're handy for about anything you can thing of and can be boiled to sterilize if necessary. I have a larger one that instead of a needle has a curved hollow tip which is especially useful; I think I used it to give a cat medicine. Any farm supply store should have them very inexpensively.
