This is essential to successful vegetable production, and harvesting. Both insects as well as diseases are getting to be more of a serious problem, with the passing of the days, because they are getting to be immune to pesticides. This happens to be a vicious circle. You spray powerful pesticides on them to kill just one generation of insects and pests. Within a couple of months, you have a more powerful generation mutating, this particular insect generation is going to be pesticide resistant. To counteract this particular problem, we are going to use even more powerful pesticides not knowing the harm those poisons and chemical toxins can do to our own system. But then we are working on a short-term solution. There is another reason why more and more different strains of insects are cropping up so easily on our land. That is because we have changed our agricultural practices. These may now favor the growth of the insect population on the land. This book is going to give you plenty of information on how you can control pests as well as diseases in your garden. There will be plenty of tips and precautions, as well as methods of how you can control the common insects and diseases found in your garden or in your vegetable patch right now.
