An Analysis of Disease management in Vegetables

  • Dr. Sandeep Kumar, Ayush Madan

Abstract

Humans have mostly followed a vegetarian diet since the dawn of time, yet different diseases in vegetables have resulted in significant losses to people in a variety of ways. India is the world's leading vegetarian country, with vegetarians accounting for 38% of the population. Illness may strike any vegetable development at any point of its life cycle, whether it is a pre-harvest or post-harvest disease. To enjoy a superior flavor and nutrients, vegetables should be preserved throughout their life cycle. Bacteria, fungus, virus, and nematodes are the four main pathogens that cause illness in vegetables. Up until recently, isolated farmers have relied on conventional methods to combat crop illnesses. To protect the vegetable, it is essential to identify the illness as soon as possible before beginning therapy. Pesticides and chemicals are used to keep vegetables free of illness. To produce vegetables disease-free without using chemicals or pesticides, an integrated approach should be used all over the globe. It may be utilized for organic plants in the future to control all pathogen-caused illness while also being cost-effective, making it suitable for all distant farmers.
