Bacteria wilt disease is the real nightmare for the farm
There's no doubt that agriculture is both fascinating and profitable, that is if all goes well. Yesterday, I shared a video and a blog about the reality of farming and the fact that it won't make you an overnight millionaire but yes, people have become millionaires with farming.
The only thing I was trying to say is, it's not that easy. It was an average storm that ruined the crops and that was a loss, not a complete loss though because some of the cabbages were still ok.
There is a side of farming that people never want to discuss and that's why I am trying to share it. I'm far from a pessimistic person and I see potential and hope in every industry today but I'm a realist.
When you put so much effort and invest heavily in your garden or your farm, the crop might be destroyed suddenly by an evil disease.
There's disease and there's the one I call evil disease. The one that comes to do 1000 percent damage. As in, you won't be able to cure it.
That's exactly what bacteria wilt disease is. It destroys various garden products including garden eggs and tomatoes in a matter of days as you can see in the video.
It is indeed an evil disease which can make you cry because it shows no mercy. The best thing you can do if the plant is affected is uproot it so it doesn't spread further. I just hope that it won't be too late for anyone if it starts affecting their crops.
The saddest aspect about this disease is its timing. Bacteria wilt does not attack when the crop is young and struggling to thrive. It waits until the plants develop well enough to bear fruit. When it is finally time to reap some fruits of labor, the leaves dry out, shrivel up and the plant withers. After just a few days, the whole green field looks barren. It has wrecked this farm bad.
But there are measures people take to prevent bacteria wilt attacks on their farms. They buy copper fungicides and apply them on the soil to keep the crop protected. In spite of this, there is no denying the fact that the disease is extremely resistant. It can still find it's way to the farm, so if you have any preventive measures, you should apply it early.
