Answer to Question 1

To help prevent severe damage from pests, the following practices should be helpful:
Rotate crops so that the same or a related crop does not occupy the same area every year. This helps
control soil-borne diseases.
Watch closely for insects. Pick them off by hand or knock them off with a hard stream of water.
Introduce predatory insects.
When using sprinklers, water early in the day, so the foliage can dry before nightfall. Diseases of
leaves and fruit prosper in damp conditions.
Keep weeds out of the garden. Weeds may harbor diseases or insects and will interfere with spraying
and dusting of crops.
Use correct amounts of fertilizer and lime to promote vigorous growth.
