  Arisaema Rust
From: mossytrail at hctc.com (mossytrail) on 2008.05.02 at 01:09:15(17526)
Is there any known fungicide against the orange-dot rust
affecting Arisaema leaves?

This is not a fungus! It is a rust, and this seems to be a bad year for it
as many of the May Apples here in the Cincinnati area are showing it.

Jason, Vic, et al.

Actually rusts are a type of fungus, order Uredinales, which
are typically host-specific parasites. Sometimes there are two hosts
depending on the stage of the life cycle, perhaps the most well known
being cedar/apple rust. Definitely fungus though. As to the specifics
of the Arisaema rust, including any treatments, we'll have to go to
someone who's worked with this species or group.
