There is growing interest in producing food using organic practices or at least reducing reliance on harsh chemical pesticides. When it comes to disease management in vegetable and fruit gardens, success often begins with prevention.
An integrated pest management (IPM) approach offers a strong foundation. Planting disease-resistant varieties, rotating crops from season to season and maintaining good garden sanitation all help reduce the risk of disease outbreaks. While these strategies are effective, they don’t always provide complete protection—especially during favorable conditions for disease development.
