The updated version includes the addition of tomato damping-off and tomato ( is a fungal disease, but "" is a Chinese term for damping-off, so I used the English term "damping-off" here for consistency) to the fungal diseases section, tomato vascular necrosis to the physiological diseases section, and tobacco whitefly, cutworm, and western flower thrips to the insect pests section.
