I'd really like to see an additional entry that lists the plant's susceptibility to various pests. It would provide another way for me to help determine what infestation I have (when I have one) and also help me determine whether I want to bother growing the plant in the first place!

We do disease-resistance in some vegetables (namely tomatoes and melons, where that information has been monitored and documented sufficiently for us to pass it along as viable.)

Outside of that, the best place for that information is in comments - too many pests and diseases for us to try to list them in a general checklist for every plant.

And of course, if you *want* that type of information, the best way to get the ball rolling is to share what you know - that's how helpful information gets shared ;o)
