Wet rot

Storage conditions at that unit appear to be unsuitable for the prolonged storage of wooden items. Destruction of 2,000 boxes was recently recommended in view of an advanced state of decomposition due to wet-rot peculiar to the storage conditions at Corsham. ... 

In old buildings timber often fails where it enters a masonry wall or in roofs at the junction of rafter and tie beam where the truss is supported on the wall plate. In both cases leaking water over a long period has resulted in wet rot. The repair process consists of replacing the decayed timber with reinforced epoxy mortar. The reinforcement may consist of steel plate or bars which are drilled or set deep into the sound portion of the timber to ensure a good bond and load transfer. Fig. 6.23 shows bonded dowel bars used to repair the end section of a column or beam while Fig. 6.24 illustrates a typical repair to a roof truss. 

Wet-rot fungi attack on all sapwood and the heartwood of nondurable species. 

Wet rot Decay of timber caused by fungi which flourish in alternate wet and dry conditions. 

Sometimes the weakest link is at the substrate-primer interface (e.g. poor adhesion), or in the substrate itself (e.g. wood suffering from wet rot). For this reason it is necessary now to consider the substrate itself and its particular chemistry. 

Tissue disintegration. This type of damage is associated with many of the root or foot rots and storage rots. The affected cells are broken down and release liquid (wet rot) or become dry and brittle (diy rot). 

Bacteria Plants stunted and pale green or yellow foliage easily pulled out of the ground and stem base is black and rotted. Infected and neighbouring tubers develop a wet rot in the field or in store, especially in damp and badly ventilated (warm) conditions.

Seeds should be planted as soon as they fall from the bush. If they dry out, they will die right away. The only way to keep them for a maximum of about two weeks, is to keep them in moist (not wet) sphagnum in a cool place. Often this initiates germination, so they must be watched for rot or premature germination. Under no circumstances should they be kept dry, since even room humidity is too dry. 

Do not overwater excessive, unnecessary watering can reduce the flavor of crops such as tomatoes, and wet soil can encourage fungal rots. 

Raspberries are hardy in Zones 3-9 and fruit in sites that only get sun for half the day. They prefer fertile, free-draining soil with a pH of 6.5 or below. Raspberries are not happy in alkaline soil. Good drainage is vital raspberries are prone to a root rot that thrives in wet soils. 

Symptoms Leaves may show irregular tunnels under the leaf surfaces. The larvae enter a fan of leaves at the top and tunnel down toward the rhizome, where they may eat the whole interior without being noticed. Borers often introduce soft rot bacteria into rhizomes as they feed, causing a wet slimy, smelly rot... 

Symptoms Leaves turn gray, wither, and collapse. Bulbs rot in storage. The disease is worst in cool wet seasons. 

Leaves roll, wrinkle, and blister. Lower stem disintegrates and can be foulsmelling. Tubers can also be attacked, resulting in a gray slimy rot. Can affect isolated individual plants and even Isolated stems on one plant. It is more likely during prolonged wet conditions.

Figure 1 2.3 Soft rot of potatoes developed in storage due to storage of wet tubers, condensations and anaerobic conditions in the storage.

Potatoes harvested luider wet soil conditions should be dried immediately. Drying involves removal of water present on the outside of the potato or in the soil on the potatoes in order to eliminate conducive conditions for the multiplication of microorganisms and to prevent the spread of rot and other storage diseases (Sijbring, 1987). The ventilation fan should run continuously during this phase while the average potato pile temperature is allowed to settle...
