Intact host surface

bacteria cannot enter the plant because no penetration organ in them unlike fungi, thus, they rely only on the natural openings and wound of its host.

is a mollusk

Use of resistant variety

the cheapest way of controlling pest because the plant itself is capable of repelling or avoiding pest damage.
