Default [IBC] Azalea desease


The link wouldn't work for me for some reason, but judging by

the
description it could possibly be azalea lace but.
Check under the leaves and if you see small "fly" type insects,

whose wings
look almost like lacework (and seethrough) that would be lace

bug.
If so you can spray with a systemic insecticide. I know Rogor

is one here in
Australia, you may have it over there. If not ask at a nursery.

Just watch
it as it is pretty potent to humans. The leaves will not

recover if it's
lace bug, and it may loose affected foliage, but it will come

back.
Good luck

That's rather drastic treatment for lacebug. A soap spray or a
pyrethrin spray (with or without soap) will do just as well and
at a lot less risk.
