As chemical control choices diminish and concerns for health and the natural environment increase, it’s important to know how to deal with problems.
Keeping your plants healthy by good cultivation and sanitation is the best way to prevent pest and disease problems. But despite our best efforts, some diseases can blow in or the weather encourage a sudden increase in pest numbers.
Diseases are especially difficult to control once they take hold. The vegetable and fruit garden is of special concern. Here, there are no fungicides on the market for home gardeners to treat fungal infections of edibles grown outdoors. This includes diseases such as peach leaf curl and apple scab.
