When it comes to farming crops, fruits or vegetables a lot
of things have to be taken into consideration and one of the main problems that
arises and makes the plants and crops vulnerable is the wide range of pests and
diseases. Once the crops get infested from pests it cannot be completely
removed but it can be reduced to certain extent.
Now there are lots of methods and ways through which the
pests and diseases can be managed and controlled. Some of them are natural
methods while some of them are through use of chemicals. It’s very important to
know which kind of pest is seen in the crops or plants before trying to get rid
of them.
Though I believe using natural methods of pests control can
be beneficial for both crops and farmers not all the pests can be controlled by
natural method.
Managing diseases and pest is not an easy process and a lot
of information is needed to manage them properly. These information need to be
accurate and easy to follow through so that people can take benefits from them.
One website named Practical Answers provides many solutions to such problems.
Some of the solutions elaborated in the website are use of hot boiling water to
treat pests in banana and plantains plants, rotation of crops, using plants to
interest insects and creating barriers.
These are only few ways through which the crops could
somehow be protected from pests. There are hundreds of ways elaborated in this
website through which crops can be protected and this information can be
helpful to lot of farmers.
Controlling unwanted pests and diseases is very important if
one wants good production of crops. If they are not controlled properly then
there will be bad consequences for crops leading to low production of crops.
Low production means less income for farmers so spread the knowledge and ideas
about this pest and diseases management so many people can know about it. Help
farmers increase production of crops by sharing knowledge and ideas.
