Gardeners should have a keen observation of their yard and the microbes affecting it so that they can have a

The intentional or unintentional delay in the identification of the pest or pathogen can also be calamitous for the host plant or crop.

Which is why the early diagnosis of the parasite is as important as its eradication.

As the climate has favorable and unfavorable bearings on human beings so it has on the microbes. The climatic changes also play a vital role in acting as a favorable host to the pests so one should know the impact of climate on specific pathogens. Environmental conditions such as humidity, temperature, and the supply of food to the pathogens can have a strong impact on the life cycle of the pests and hence can be a big clue in eradicating this curse. Gardeners, sometimes, are totally ignorant of the influence of climatic changes on a specific pathogen. So, their unawareness causes them loss. Some climatic conditions are highly advantageous to the parasite and help it to grow more swiftly than in normal situations.

Using substandard insecticides has long lasting repercussions for the yard. Such a practice is chronic. It should not be opted by the gardeners as it seems economical and cheap in the beginning. As the time passes this economical "tactic" begins to tell upon the shoulders. It is toxic both for the well-being of the lawn and the gardener showering it. So, is the case with using an inappropriate pesticide. This huge sip makes the pathogen more powerful than before. Thus it is unfavorable, both for the pocket and the yard.

Gardeners do not consider the bug juice or insecticide to be harmful or toxic which leads to the greater use of pesticides than needed. Such a situation not only harms the garden but has adverse effects on the surrounding environment.

Gardeners do not consider the other domestic ways to control pathogens; rather they only depend on the toxic pesticides which are not only harmful for human beings but also for the atmosphere.

There are few legal requirements for procedures to use the pesticides. The gardeners being unaware of the protective equipment cause harm not to their own health but also to the crops and the living surroundings and the atmosphere. As a permissible requirement pesticide application needs mandatory training, with strict guidelines related to clothing, management, and handling etc. if these precautionary measures and procedures are ignored, they can lead to a terrible upshot.

The packages should be stored according to the given directions. Their proper storage can lead to a proper consumption for the satisfactory result. So it should be considered the favorable temperature for the pesticide. Exposure to light and sunlight should also be considered for the consumption of the product to its best till the expiry date.

After using the pesticides their packages are disposed of incorrectly which causes a great threat to the environment. It is not only hazardous to the atmosphere but also adversely influences human life and animals in the ecosystem. They are to be discarded properly as per directions on the carton or the provided circular or manual.

Gardeners do not have proper training on how to use a specific pesticide and what is the best time to use it. This maladministration and mishandling of the product or chemical leads to injury and harm instead of thrift.

The gardeners are not well aware of how often to use some sort of insecticide. They are wrong about the frequency of the use of specific pesticides and weed killers. Such mismanagement sometimes gives rise to negative output rather than being helpful and beneficial.
