Disease Management Best Practices

🔍

Regular Monitoring

Inspect your plantation weekly. Check leaves, stems, fruits, and roots for any unusual signs. Early detection makes treatment easier and more effective.

🧹

Good Sanitation

Remove and burn infected plant parts immediately. Clean fallen leaves and fruits regularly. This prevents disease spread to healthy plants.

💧

Proper Drainage

Ensure good water drainage in your plantation. Waterlogging creates favorable conditions for fungal and bacterial diseases. Maintain drainage channels.

🌱

Balanced Nutrition

Well-nourished plants resist diseases better. Follow recommended fertilizer schedules. Address nutrient deficiencies promptly to maintain plant health.

🛡️

Preventive Sprays

Apply preventive fungicides before monsoon season. This protects against common fungal diseases. Follow recommended spray schedules for best results.

📋

Record Keeping

Maintain records of disease occurrences, treatments applied, and results. This helps identify patterns and improve future management strategies.

Integrated Disease Management (IDM)

IDM combines multiple strategies for effective and sustainable disease control. This approach reduces chemical dependency while maintaining healthy plantations.

🌾

Cultural Practices

Proper spacing, timely pruning, weed control, and good sanitation reduce disease incidence naturally.

🦠

Biological Control

Use beneficial microorganisms like Trichoderma for natural disease suppression and soil health improvement.

💊

Chemical Control

Use fungicides and pesticides judiciously, only when necessary, following recommended dosages and safety guidelines.

🔄

Resistance Management

Rotate different classes of fungicides to prevent pathogen resistance. Alternate between chemical and biological treatments.
