Narcissus Crop Walkers’ Guide


Narcissus growers can encounter a range of problems that can impact on both the quality and yield of flowers and bulbs unless they are identified and dealt with. Often, such problems are linked to pests and diseases, but a range of physiological and cultural disorders may also be encountered, including:

  • The large narcissus fly
  • Nematodes
  • Basal rot
  • White mould
  • Daffodil rust, and many others

Use this guide to walk and monitor your crop, and help you identify the problem if you encounter symtpoms.
