Rhododendron - Phytophthora Root Rot

Notes Phytophthora has been found by the OSU Plant Clinic a few times in both nursery and landscape situations. There is little information on this problem and it is suggested to see other Phytophthora root rot diseases for possible management tactics.

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.
