A method of treatment for diseased plants, particularly trees or vines, against fungal attack of <i>Chondostereum purpureum</i> (silverleaf) and <i>Eutypa lata</i> (dead arm disease) in particular. The method of treatment comprises drilling a hole into the central region or heartwood of the stem, trunk, or branches of the tree or vine, and subsequently injecting an effective amount of a solution comprising low solubility acid or a salt thereof into said hole or holes to prevent, limit, control or cure an infection of the treated tree or vine without a phytotoxic reaction. The preferred form of low solubility acid is salicylic or its equivalent as salicylate. |
