Answer to Question 1

Cultural practices that help prevent plant disease include:

1 . Keeping the field clean and free of weeds to eliminate plants that can harbor disease
2 . Removing debris such as clippings from pruning or stalks of harvested crops to eliminate places for disease to grow
3 . Watering crops during the day to prevent the spread of pathogens that grow better at night
4 . Refraining from disturbing crops when they are wet, so as to prevent passage of pathogens from plant to plant in water droplets
5 . Using chemicals such as fungicides and bactericides to prevent a buildup of pathogens

Answer to Question 2

The AFA focuses on the needs and problems of the local florist.
