1 Choose the right plants

One of the most important factors to consider when planning your softscaped areas is the suitability of the plants for your climate, soil, and sun exposure. Choosing plants that are native or adapted to your region will reduce the risk of stress, pests, and diseases. You can also select plants that have natural resistance or tolerance to certain problems, such as drought, insects, or fungi. For example, some plants have hairy or waxy leaves that repel pests, while others have aromatic oils that deter diseases.

2 Maintain good hygiene

Another way to prevent pests and diseases from harming your softscaped areas is to keep them clean and tidy. This means removing any dead, diseased, or damaged plant material, such as leaves, flowers, branches, or fruits, as soon as possible. These can harbor pathogens or insects that can spread to healthy plants or attract rodents and other animals. You should also disinfect your tools and equipment after each use, especially if you have cut or pruned infected plants. Additionally, you should avoid overwatering or splashing water on the foliage, as this can create favorable conditions for fungal or bacterial infections.

Airflow is crucial. Little airflow and lack of sunlight can lead to fungal issues. Selective hand pruning (not shearing) can open plants up to have better air circulation and can help prevent infections.

Pour éviter les dommages causés par les parasites et les maladies dans vos espaces paysagers, maintenir propreté et ordre est essentiel. Retirez rapidement tout matériau végétal mort, malade ou endommagé, comme les feuilles, fleurs, branches ou fruits, car ils peuvent abriter des agents pathogènes ou des insectes nuisibles. Désinfectez régulièrement vos outils et équipements après usage, surtout s'ils ont été en contact avec des plantes malades. évitez également l'excès d'arrosage ou d'éclaboussures sur le feuillage, propices aux infections fongiques ou bactériennes.

3 Apply mulch and compost

Mulch and compost are organic materials that you can apply to the surface of your soil to improve its quality and health. Mulch helps retain moisture, regulate temperature, suppress weeds, and prevent soil erosion. Compost adds nutrients, improves drainage, and encourages beneficial microorganisms. Both mulch and compost can also help prevent pests and diseases from harming your softscaped areas by creating a barrier against soil-borne pathogens, enhancing plant immunity, and attracting natural predators or parasites of pests. You should use organic mulch and compost that are free of weed seeds, pests, and diseases, and apply them evenly and moderately around your plants.

Mulch is great and can provide a ton of benefits such as those mentioned above. Be sure to keep the root flare exposed. In cases of over mulching or “volcano mulching” an air spade is a great tool to get the soil to the proper grade.

En découvrant les merveilles du jardinage, j'ai appris comment le paillis et le compost sont des trésors pour la terre. Le paillis protège, régule l'humidité et prévient les intrus indésirables, tandis que le compost enrichit, nourrit et favorise une flore microbienne saine. Cette combinaison naturelle fortifie la santé de vos plantes, offrant un bouclier contre les maladies et attirant des alliés prédateurs des ravageurs. Optez pour du paillis et du compost biologiques, dépourvus de graines nuisibles, pour une application uniforme et modérée autour de vos précieuses plantations. Ces alliés verts, une fois intégrés, chérissent et protègent vos précieux trésors verts.

4 Monitor and treat problems

Despite your best efforts, you may still encounter some pests or diseases that affect your softscaped areas. Therefore, you should monitor your plants regularly and look for any signs of trouble, such as holes, spots, discoloration, wilting, or distortion. If you notice any symptoms, you should identify the cause and treat it promptly and appropriately. Depending on the type and severity of the problem, you may use cultural, mechanical, biological, or chemical methods to control it. For example, you may handpick or trap pests, prune or remove infected plants, introduce beneficial insects or microorganisms, or apply organic or synthetic pesticides or fungicides.

5 Follow best practices

Finally, to prevent pests and diseases from harming your softscaped areas, you should follow some general best practices. This includes planting in the right season, spacing, and depth to ensure optimal growth and airflow. Additionally, watering in the morning, at the base of the plants, and according to their needs can help avoid water stress or excess. Fertilizing moderately and with the right type and amount of fertilizer can also help prevent nutrient deficiency or toxicity. Additionally, rotating or diversifying your crops can avoid depleting the soil or creating a monoculture, while using companion plants that can enhance or protect each other from pests or diseases is also important. Lastly, it is best to avoid working on wet or windy days to prevent spreading or introducing pathogens or pests. By following these tips and strategies, you can enjoy a beautiful and healthy landscape.

Usually during hot and humid conditions more pest attack is possible like Fungus attack, similarly sucking pest and chewing insect also attack during the hot and humid conditions as it's their breeding season so you must schedule your fungicide and insecticide sprays at regular intervals to control the pests. On the other hand during dry periods termite attack is also severe especially in roots and on stem so keep check and regular spray of termicide at regular intervals should be assured.

Pour assurer un environnement sain, il faut planter au bon moment, avec un espacement et une profondeur adéquats. Arrosez le matin, au pied des plantes, et modérément selon leurs besoins. Une fertilisation avec précision est nécessaire pour éviter des carences ou une toxicité. Pratiquez la rotation des cultures pour préserver la fertilité du sol et favoriser la biodiversité. Associez des plantes compagnes pour une meilleure défense contre les ravageurs. évitez de travailler par temps humide ou venteux pour limiter les risques de maladies. Ces pratiques assurent un paysage sain et florissant.

One of the biggest dangers for lawn, trees and grass is a subterranean termite infestation. The best way to prevent termites is to make sure there is no wood lying on the ground for a prolonged period as this can attract termites. If termites have already started attacking the lawn, a spray treatment with an approved chemical will get the situation under control. Another option is to use a baiting system.
