Solution: Select and plant cultivars specifically bred for resistance to common diseases.
Explanation: Plant breeders have developed many vegetable varieties with genetic resistance to specific diseases (e.g., 'VFN' marking on tomatoes indicates resistance to Verticillium wilt, Fusarium wilt, and Nematodes). Check seed packets or plant tags for information on disease resistance relevant to your area.
Notes: Highly effective preventative strategy. Resistance may not cover all potential diseases.
