Lychee Tree (forum)

Suraj Lama starts with ...
Hi Friends,

I am new to Daleys Fruite Tree Forum. I came accorss this Forum while search for the proper treatment for my Lychee Tee.

I am uncertain if it's a Fungus, Algal Leaf Spot or Citrus Aphids. I have attached 3 photos of my tree.

I would appreciate if anybody could suggest a treatment/fertilizer/fungicide, etc.. I would also like to know where in INDIA can I buy them.

Thanking you,
Suraj

Hi Suraj, it looks like a nasty case of Erinose mite. Here's a couple of links you should find helpful.
http://www.daff.qld.gov.au/26_17811.htm and http://www.abc.net.au/local/videos/2011/04/13/3190177.htm

Hope these help.

Soapy water applied by a pressure sprayer to the underside of the leaves usually works if you apply it every couple of weeks. Lux flakes in warm water are a good option.

Suraj it looks like erinose mites to me which get in while foliage is soft.If it is,you should trim effected foliage and burn and spray the tree with wettable sulphur or maldison. Too much nitrogen in the fertilizer maked new growth soft and more prone to mite attack so a lower N level helps.

Good one Mike, Jantina kindly sent me the last of her seeds but will grab some from you for backup. Have you tasted it yet? Someone said you might be growing white turmeric as well, would love to buy some for a friend who got back from Burma and is raving about it.
