Plants Diseases and Infection Control


Plant disease is a change in a plant's normal state that affects or stops its important functioning. Depending on the causal agent, plant diseases can be classed as noninfectious or infectious. Plant diseases cost farmers a lot of money all around the world. Plant disease control is critical for reliable food production, and it causes considerable issues in agricultural land, water, fuel, and other input consumption. Plants have inherent disease resistance in both natural and cultivated populations, but there are numerous examples of devastating plant disease impacts, such as the Great Famine of Ireland and chestnut blight, as well as recurrent severe plant diseases like rice blast, soybean cyst nematode, and citrus canker.

Examples of Plant Diseases:

  • Leaf rust (common leaf rust in corn)
  • Stem rust (wheat stem rust)
  • Sclerotinia (white mold)
  • Powdery mildew
