Tips
Pests & Diseases
Caraway can carry Septoria or Cercospora leaf spots, powdery mildew, and root or crown rot through its two-year cycle. Remove spotted first-year foliage before winter and avoid saving seed from diseased umbels. Rotate away from carrots, celery, dill, and related crops to reduce shared pathogens.
Caraway may draw aphids, mites, whiteflies, leafminers, slugs, and Japanese beetles. Examine leaf undersides, remove beetles and slugs manually, and treat tender foliage cautiously.
