Why is timely identification of crop disease important in agriculture? A Because early treatment can limit loss B Because it changes land ownership C Because it stops market tax D Because it changes family size
Correct answer: A Crop diseases can damage leaves, stems, roots, flowers or fruits and may spread from one plant to many others. If a disease is noticed early, a farmer can identify the problem, remove badly affected plants where appropriate, improve field care and use a suitable treatment or advice. Early action can reduce the area damaged and protect both yield and income. Waiting may allow the disease to spread, making control more difficult and expensive.
