Tips
Pests & Diseases
Cercospora and Ramularia leaf spots, powdery mildew, damping-off, and root rot can affect fennel. Avoid saving seed from heavily spotted umbels because some pathogens travel with seed. Rotate carrots, celery, dill, cumin, and fennel together as one disease group, and dry seed heads thoroughly before storage.
Monitor fennel for aphids, mites, whiteflies, leafminers, and slugs. Remove badly infested stems, maintain weed control, and select treatments labeled for edible herbs when intervention is necessary.
