Alternatively success has been reported using THIRAM FUNGUS CONTROL.

About

Buxus blight (box blight) is a disease caused by the fungus Cylindrocladium buxicola. It has become common in the UK, Europe and in New Zealand. A recent study* on the control of this disease has shown that carbendazim inhibits growth of the fungus and mancozeb inhibits spore germination.
