How to Identify & Stop Plant Diseases Before It’s Too Late (Garden Talk #209)
Episode 209
Saturday, 10 October, 2026
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nicole Gauthier to discuss how to identify, prevent, and manage some of the most common plant diseases. We cover how plant diseases develop, how to distinguish disease symptoms from nutrient deficiencies, and the importance of testing plants and soil for pathogens. Dr. Gauthier also breaks down Pythium, Fusarium, powdery mildew, Botrytis, and Hop Latent Viroid, including how these pathogens spread and the treatment and prevention methods available. We also discuss proper cleaning and sanitation practices, fungicides, and steps growers can take to reduce the risk of disease in their gardens. Support the show
