Cacao Disease Management

Cacao disease management involves using strategies to prevent and control diseases that affect cacao trees, such as black pod disease orvascular wilt. This includes planting disease-resistant varieties, ensuring proper spacing for good airflow, and practicing crop hygiene like removing infected pods and debris. Applying appropriate fungicides and pesticides can help control outbreaks, while crop rotation reduces pathogen buildup in the soil. Regular monitoring and early detection are vital for effective control. Together, these integrated practices help maintain healthy cacao trees, improving yield and quality, and ensuring sustainable production.
