Attention to irrigation methods, nutrient and temperature levels, and pruning schedules is the way to control lantana leaf fungus. The evergreen shrub in question may be more susceptible to fungal attacks when irrigation is from overhead, moisture is heading toward waterlogging below-ground and surface soils, nutrient composition is not monitored (with particular attention to iron, phosphorus, and potassium levels), and pruning schedules are not maintained. Proper pruning will promote appropriate aeration vital to plant growth and remove diseased parts from which fungi can spread.

Is a leaf cutter a carnivore?
Leaf cutter ants go out to collect pieces of leaves that they cut off, then take what they have collected back to the nest. In the nest special worker ants prepare the leaf to grow a special fungus that grows into little lumps that the ants feed on. So you can see that what the ants eat is not flesh, but bits of fungus that they grow, much as humans grow mushrooms for food. So we say that they are not carnivores, but fungivorous or mycophagous, two words that mean the same thing: "fungus-eating".
