Disease (Farming)

Crops and herbs can become infected by disease while growing. Using super compost as opposed to regular compost when treating Farming patches and using the proper guardian flower when growing vegetables, or paying a bribe to the farmer can help mitigate the effects of disease.

When a crop is diseased it will not grow, and if it is not cured within a certain time it will die. However, if the plants are diseased while a player is logged out, then the timer will pause until the player logs back in.

To cure a plant of disease, a Plant cure must be used on it. Players armed with Lunar Magicks can also use the Cure Plant spell on the diseased crop to rid it of disease. If the plant is a tree, secateurs must be used with it to cure disease.

There used to be graphic issues that made diseased plants look strange and warped. This has been fixed by Jagex
