Treat your soil before planting
Nothing ruins a farmers labour like plants been destroyed by soil borne diseases
The real tragedy is the fact that these soil borne diseases will rarely cause damage at the initial stage, until your plants have grown and beared plenty fruits and harvesting is in view, then these pathogens wipe out all your crop.
They take time to colonize the root and vascular systems of the plant and lunch attack at a time when farmers can't bear the losses. Hence farming without proper soil treatment is like gambling.
The dangerous diseases are bacteria wilt, fusarium wilt, phytophthora, verticilium wilt and nematodes e.t.c
