Cocoa farm sanitation

Cocoa farm sanitation is the removal of unwanted elements from the farm. Unwanted elements include stagnant water, weeds, piled Cocoa husks, Chupons, Moss, Epiphytes (Mistletoes), dead branches, unwanted pods. Removing these unwanted elements from the farm regularly reduces the incidence of pests and diseases because some of these elements serve as hosts.
