When it comes to pests and diseases and especially within a vegetable garden, prevention is better than cure. Keeping good gardening practices (good soil conditions, fertilising and watering) will result in strong vigorously-growing vegetables that are better able to resist attack and outgrow damage. The best way to control pests and diseases is to be familiar with the normal healthy appearance of the plants so that when there is a problem you will be able to tackle it quickly and hence prevent excessive damages to your crops.
