The use of pesticides to manage vegetable diseases can lead to phytotoxicity and environmental pollution. As people's living standards rise and awareness of food safety increases, there is a growing demand for pesticide-free vegetables. Therefore, it has become essential to adopt ecological methods for disease control in vegetables, which helps reduce pesticide residues and ensures safer produce.
First, after harvesting vegetables, many pathogens remain on the plant residues and spread into the soil, becoming a source of contamination. To address this, farmers should focus on preventing and controlling pests and diseases during the later stages of growth. This includes reducing the number of pathogenic bacteria and removing all leftover stems and leaves after each harvest. Additionally, any roots from vegetables prone to root diseases should be removed to prevent further spread.
Second, crop rotation plays a vital role in disease management. Proper rotation not only enhances the resilience of crops but also reduces the viability of pathogens in the soil over time. There are two main types of vegetable rotations: one involves rotating between different vegetable species, with careful planning based on how long pathogens survive in the soil. The other type involves alternating vegetables with grain crops such as corn, cotton, or wheat, which has proven effective in reducing disease occurrence.
Third, intercropping with onions can be highly beneficial. The rhizosphere of onions produces antibacterial microorganisms that inhibit harmful pathogens and help prevent various vegetable diseases. By mixing onions with other vegetables, farmers can effectively suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria and lower their density in the soil, contributing to better soil health.
Fourth, changing the soil is another effective strategy. In fixed facilities like solar greenhouses, where soil replacement is difficult, old soil can be replaced with new, non-contaminated topsoil. This helps control soil-borne diseases by introducing fresh, healthy soil conditions.
Fifth, deep plowing is an important practice. By cultivating the soil to a depth of about 40 cm after each harvest, the living environment of pathogens is disrupted. Natural factors such as low temperatures and ultraviolet light can also help kill some of the remaining pathogens, reducing disease risk in subsequent crops.
Sixth, disinfection is a practical method, especially during summer. After deep plowing, the field can be flooded and covered with plastic film to conduct high-temperature disinfection. This process can raise the temperature in the top 10 cm of soil to around 70°C, effectively killing many pathogens. It is a simple yet efficient way to manage diseases and improve soil quality.
By implementing these ecological practices, farmers can significantly reduce the reliance on chemical pesticides, promote sustainable agriculture, and meet the increasing market demand for safe and environmentally friendly vegetables.
