What Is This Leaf "blight"?

[silverhawk_usa]

Can anyone tell me what this is on my plant's leaves? They eventually yellow and the leaves fall off. It seems to affect a number of different plants and spreads rapidly. How do I eliminate it?

Any info appreciated.

Looks like insect Eggs. We had somthing like that our leaves fell off, But now they are back.

Looking better than ever. We used nothing just let nature run it corse.

It’s a frangipani and most do have rust on the leaves, and they do fall off , check this website

Thanks, that's it exactly. I have about a dozen of the trees in full bloom now, and I would like to stop it from spreading if possible. The link recommends;

"We recommend spraying with MANCOZEB."

Does any one know if that is available here or the equivalent?

RUST

Dispose of all the leaves in a sealed plastic bag as its a fungus (stops spores from spreading) and keep the area around the bottom of the trees clear. If it persists then look for a spray; afraid I can't help you with what's available as mine has never got that bad.

Looks like a normal condition to me. Plumeria(frangapani) always seem to develop rust & cause spots. We have over 200 trees.

They all get (& the other Plumeria's as well in Bang Sare area) the same discoleration. If watered to much they will shed the leaves & regenerate. I knock of the yellow leaves & let them do their thing. Same in Hawaii . The trees had the exact same rust.

The landscape teams did the same for the Plumeria's there. Nothing & they did great. If you cut some of the ends off at 6" or more you can regrow in soil & grow more plants & it will give you double triple or up to 5 branches whereas it only had one before. We did try a myriad of sprays & treatments & found it was best & much more cost effective to ditch the worthless chemicals. Now if you get bugs(very rare) on the plants different story!

I appreciate all the replies. A shop in Chiang Mai recommended a fungicide. Everything in Thai on the box except the word "Captan". I was able to find quite a bit about this doing some searching. I am going to give it a try at least as a preventative. I have about 6 trees in one area showing the rust. I have about another 8 in a different area that are rust free. It will be a good experiment to see what happens.

If this doesn't work, I like the idea of just letting nature take it's course, much easier. "Beardog", I will try your advice on cutting the stems and replanting. Great. You also mention overwatering. As I water the entire area almost daily, what do you think constitutes too much? Thanks.

Once your trees are a decent size try once a week . I was giving 4 & 1/2 rai plants- Mixed types on an irrigated zone system & found that the palms enjoy more water than the Plumerias. Once I stopped giving the trees water every 2 days the leaves stay on & the trees actually have grown more. & they like manure.

The smaller cuttings you can give water to daily till they reach 1 meter tall or more. The watering cycle may very on location- but it is always the same to much water & the leaves fall. After rainy season towards the end just about all the plumerias drop their leaves & regrow new ones . This is an excellent time to prune & restart your branches!

Will do. Thanks again.

Be sure to pull the leaves off the cutting and let it dry for a day before planting it.

Its entirely natural, frangipani are deciduous .

I understand they are deciduous, it just seemed like they were losing leaves prematurely along with the rust. The above posts, along with what I was able to search on the internet based on the posts, cleared up a lot and gave me some more ideas. Thanks.
