Fruitless Mulberry Leaf Spot: Fungicide Treatment Guide

Our North Texas fruitless mulberry has yellow leaves with brown spots dropping despite ample summer rain. Will sulfur help?

Diagnosis: Leaf Spot Fungi

Sulfur is ineffective. Use targeted fungicides after sanitation.

Sanitation: Rake and destroy all fallen leaves to reduce reinfection.
Fungicide Options:
- Mancozeb (Fore, Dithane, Mancozeb)
- Chlorothalonil (Daconil, Bravo, Ortho Multipurpose)
- Thiophanate-methyl (Cleary's 3336, Domain)
- Triadimefon (Bayleton, Strike)
Application: Spray weekly per label directions until new leaves emerge spot-free.

Consult your local nursery for product selection.
