Pests
attack
unhealthy plants. The best ways to avoid pests are: correct handling, careful transplanting, regular watering and ensuring the plants have the conditions they need.
Having a diverse farm
with
lots of different species including beneficial flowers and herbs is
also what helps keep a balanced ecosystem that will regulate
itself and control pests and diseases. Plus, growing crops in
association with one another allows different species to take advantage
of each another to produce healthier plants and higher
yields. |
