Growers since ancient times have been aware that garlic plants (Allium sativum) deter certain diseases and insect pests. Today, garlic-based treatments are routinely used in the cultivation of many edible and ornamental crops to promote healthy plants and optimum profitability.
Pruning is an essential management practice used in the cultivation of many fruit crops and ornamentals. It helps create a convenient growth habit and reduces the impact of certain diseases, thereby promoting optimum growing conditions and productivity.
However, the pruning process can cause its own problems. A cut branch or stem produces an open wound which, until it heals, can be an easy entry point for other diseases.
Infection risk can be minimised by good pruning technique and good hygiene. Garlic Barrier™ Pruning Paint provides an additional resource.
