Powdery mildew and mildew are the most common diseases. It is imperative to avoid watering the foliage at the end of the day, especially in hot and humid weather (stormy summer periods) because mildew contamination occurs on damp foliage. The slug is a great devourer of young, freshly transplanted plants. So that it does not ruin your plantations, place Slug Traps around your plants. The cucumber beetle attacks the fruit. As a preventive measure, massive nitrogen inputs should be avoided. As a cure, spray pyrethrum-based insecticide in the evening dew.
