Symptoms The plant's center or only one side may develop a wilt in which leaves turn a greasy gray. Plants eventually collapse without recovering. The disease can be confused with fungal wilt. Symptoms of INSV-infected plants are reportedly similar to symptoms on cinerarias, and plants may be stunted.

Use pesticides safely!

  • Wear protective clothing and safety devices as recommended on the label. Bathe or shower after each use.
  • Read the pesticide label—even if you’ve used the pesticide before. Follow closely the instructions on the label (and any other directions you have).
  • Be cautious when you apply pesticides. Know your legal responsibility as a pesticide applicator. You may be liable for injury or damage resulting from pesticide use.
