Tips on Preventing diseases in horticultural crops during the rainy season
Soil Processing
Why if the land I made No. 1? Results of observations I horticultural crops on average made the beds, and the arrangement of beds will greatly affect the humidity soil and moisture beginning developments of mold or fungus that makes a plant disease while rapidly during the rainy season, so my advice to set the beds so that wind circulation can be maximized so you can observe the direction of the wind at your place to set a raised bed. Later planting distance, but for a spacing usually you already know its SOP. If still confused please ask.

It could land you planted will not be susceptible to disease.? Well this point in the provision of biological agents on a regular basis both biological fertilizer, insecticides, or fungicides biology, they're living so when our land is already so rich with biological agents it hopes to compete or fight with bacteria, fungi, or fungi that harm crops and farmers must , And there are some biological agents that have functions such as trichoderma fighter, and there is also a biological agent that functions as predatory fungi, pathogenic or boletus an adverse.

For to me without you (farmers) then a lot of people are going hungry, and do not let this happen, then take heart, O my friend "Farmers". And if this article useful please you can share with others.
