March 26, 2013 — The major pests and disorders of nemesia are discussed in the attached e-GRO Alert, which includes: iron chlorosis, low EC, western flower thrips, botrytis, bacterial leaf spot, water stress, ethylene, phytopthora, and fungus gnats.

This spring we grew a crop of nemesia (Nemesia fruticans) for a research project. This spurred our interest in the plant and made us take special interest of other growers’ crops. This has allowed us to observe and photograph a number of production issues with nemesia. Many of the production issues are documented in the cultural guides provided by the propagation companies. This e-GRO Alert highlights these disorders with actual photographs.
