Why Your Plants Get Sick 🍂 The "Disease Triangle" Rule (and How to Break It)

Описание: You have two tomato plants: one is dying of blight, the other is perfect. Why? 🍅🤔

It's not bad luck. Plant disease follows a strict set of rules called the "Disease Triangle." In this video, we explain how Pathogens, Hosts, and Environment interact, and how you can break just ONE side of the triangle to stop sickness instantly—without using a single drop of chemical spray!

【Key Takeaways from this Video】
1. The Disease Triangle 📐
• For a plant to get sick, 3 things must happen at the same time: Pathogen + Host + Environment.
• The Goal: Remove just ONE factor, and the disease literally cannot happen.
2. The Tomato Example 🍅
• Scenario: You have blight spores (Pathogen) and a susceptible Heirloom Tomato (Host).
• The Fix: Target the Environment! Prune lower leaves for airflow and water only at the base.
• Result: The fungus needs wet leaves to grow. If leaves are dry = Triangle Broken = No Disease.
3. The 4th Dimension: Time ⏳
• Fungi need time (e.g., 6 hours of wetness) to infect.
• Watering Rule: Water in the morning (sun dries leaves in 1 hour) vs. Evening (leaves stay wet all night = infection).
4. The Invisible Shield (ISR) 🛡️
• Beneficial microbes in healthy soil trigger "Induced Systemic Resistance" (ISR).
• They signal the plant to thicken its cell walls and prepare defenses before an attack even happens.
