Throwing diseased fruits and vegetables in the field can be a source of inoculum

Some farmers throw diseased fruits and vegetables in the field and this is the source of inoculum. Diseases spread from here to the nearby fields and long distances through various agencies like air, water and insects etc. The diseased fruits and vegetables should be carefully collected and burried or burnt to prevent further spread of the diseases. These preventive measures are very effective and can save you and your crops.
