Pests & Diseases
White rot, downy mildew, purple blotch, Botrytis leaf blight, and Fusarium basal rot affect leeks. Plant clean seed or transplants and rotate alliums together. Yellowing with cottony white growth at the base warrants careful removal. Do not move soil, tools, or transplants from a white-rot-infested bed.
Inspect leek regularly for aphids, mites, slugs, caterpillars, and other chewing or sap-feeding pests. Remove pests physically when practical and use only correctly identified, labeled controls when damage becomes significant.
