Hi All:

Last year I had some minor problems with some crop diseases, specifically powdery mildew. I've planted a much larger area this year and I'd like to put into practice a more formal method for treating and preventing diseases.

I'd like to know how some of you practice disease prevention and management. Do you only treat for diseases once they are appear.? Do you look for evidence of the causes of certain diseases and then start a treatment/prevention program? Or do you assume that disease will happen and take preventive measure much astake a vaccination for flu season?

I know that good disease management starts with good seeed and proper gardening techniques but I would like to know what some of you do over and above that.

Thanks for sharing
