Keep in mind that
• All pesticides are potentially dangerous to man, animals and the environment if not applied according to the instructions on the label and handled with care.
• Normal cultivation practices can often be adapted to minimise pest damage. A crop which is growing well is less prone to attacks by pests and diseases and can often resist these attacks better than weaker crops.
The following guidelines should help you manage pests in vegetable crops.
Cultivar selection
• Select a cultivar which is known to have a high yield and
to produce a crop of high quality under local growing conditions.
• Consider a cultivar with resistance to or acceptable tolerance of certain diseases or nematodes.
• A cultivar which is adapted to local conditions should yield healthy plants.
• Stay informed about the latest cultivar developments concerning disease resistance or tolerance.
Field selection
• It is easier to control pests on land that is well suited to the crop.
• The soil should have a sufficient depth, a uniform texture and good drainage.
• Make sure the soil is free of nematodes. Fumigate if necessary.
• The water-holding capacity of the soil should be suitable for the crop.
• Do a soil analysis to determine nutrient deficiencies and salinity. Rectify these before planting.
• Find out which pesticides have been used on the land previously. Take the waiting period of the product into account and make sure that it is safe to plant.
• Consider the history of the land, such as the occurrence of weeds, pests and diseases, and apply countermeasures (management practices).
