Other Garden Pests and Diseases

Apart from common sap sucking and leaf eating insects, gardens and farms can also face various other pests and plant diseases.
These include fungal infections, root pests, borers, termites, nematodes, and leaf miners that damage plant tissues, roots, and fruits.
Using biological pest control and organic solutions helps protect plants while maintaining soil health and ecological balance in the garden.

Organic and Biological Pest Control Methods

Biological pest management uses beneficial microorganisms, neem-based solutions, and eco-friendly inputs to control pests naturally.
These methods are safe for plants, beneficial insects, and the surrounding environment.
