International Day of Plant Health

Plant health is the foundation of food security and is interconnected with human, animal and environmental health. Healthy plants provide nutrient-rich diets for humans and animals and help promote a balanced ecosystem.

Pest-infected plants can trigger a cascade of negative effects on food supplies and induce outbreaks of zoonotic diseases transmitted through harmful pathogens. Pesticides play a role in pest management but their overuse and poor management cause biodiversity loss, environmental pollution, ecosystem dysfunction, food safety concerns and pesticide resistance. 

Drip irrigation provides only benefits concerning the plant health:

• Plants receive the correct amount of water depending on their specific needs

• They receive the right amount of nutrients and chemicals

• There are no diseases that affect their growth

• There are no weeds developed since only the plant is irrigated

• There is no soil erosion to stress the plants
