Soil-borne spores of fungus/ bacterial diseases are also found in the soil, which infects various stages of the plant under favorable conditions and causes loss in crop production.
Soil treatment leads to the complete development of chilli plants, complete nutritional growth, and rich quality production.
Along with improving soil structure, the attack of sucking pests and diseases also reduces.
