• Cucurbits (gourds/cucumber): Powdery mildew, downy mildew, fruit fly
  
• Leafy greens: Aphids, leaf miners

Simple actions:

• Scout twice a week. Check undersides of leaves and growing tips.
  
• Remove and destroy infested fruits/leaves promptly.
  
• Use pheromone traps for fruit/borer insects and keep fields clean of weeds.
  
• Follow label-recommended sprays only when needed; rotate sprays to avoid resistance.
  
  

Irrigation

• Give light irrigation as needed, based on rainfall and soil moisture (especially after monsoon).
  
• Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging; standing water causes root rot.
  
• Use mulching (dry leaves/straw/plastic where feasible) to save moisture and reduce weeds.
  
• Prefer drip or furrow irrigation for gourds and tomato where possible, it saves water and is efficient.
