Cultural Method to Assist in Reducing Plant Disease
Several common sense techniques can also be used to reduce plant disease.
These include:
• Inspect the plants often for signs of disease or insect pests. Take appropriate
measures when warranted.
• Promote healthy plant growth, but do not over fertilize.
• Do not grow the same types of plants in the same location in successive years.
• Control weed species around the garden that are related to the plant species that
you are growing. Weeds are a source of plant pathogens.
• Space plants to ensure good airflow and drying after rain. Also, water plants in the
morning to minimize the time that the plants are wet. Wet leaves, flowers and fruit
promote infections by plant pathogens.
• Prune plants during dry weather to reduce wound infections.
• At the end of the growing season remove and compost all garden refuse.
Garden refuse can act as a source of plant pathogens.
