Francis Chaboussou, in his book, Health Crops, states that spraying of chemicals is the cause of disease pressure in crops. Dr. Carey Reams says that all disease pressure in plants is directly related to nutrient deficiency in the plant.
Foliar feeding with plant available nutrients helps to build immunity to ward off disease so you don’t have to. This is because insects and pathogens instinctively know what type of plant material they can digest. Depending on the insect, the digestive system can be rather simple or actually fairly complex. But insects won’t attack healthy plants because they actually can’t digest them.
