Some farmers pray for rain. Surprisingly, others ask just exactly the opposite. For, the same downpour of blessings also means imminent dangers to crops such as
vegetables. The rain is what nourishes plants, yet it is also the same element that attracts destructive plant diseases.
Two of the most common bugs during the
wet weather are
aphids and borers. These attackers of plant stems and buds can leave a harvest with a lesser quantity of crops. However, they can be eliminated by spraying chemicals or by removing dead leaves or stems in order to lessen their growth or spread.
