STUDIES ON PLANT DISEASES AND THEIR MANAGEMENT

More about the book

Focusing on the causes of plant illnesses, the book explores both biotic factors, such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses, and abiotic factors, including environmental extremes and poor soil conditions. It highlights that while biotic agents are often contagious, abiotic disorders stem from a variety of non-contagious influences like temperature fluctuations, nutrient deficiencies, and pollution. Additionally, the text notes that while insects and weeds can harm plants, they are typically outside the realm of plant pathology studies.
