Overview

Plant fungal pathogens are fungi that can cause disease in plants. These pathogens can cause a wide range of symptoms, including wilting, spotting, and stunted growth. Plant fungal pathogens can cause a decrease in yield and quality of plants, leading to economic losses. Management of these pathogens is important to ensure agricultural sustainability and food security. Cultural practices such as crop rotation, use of resistant varieties, and elimination of infected plant material can help reduce the spread of plant fungal pathogens. Fungicides can also be used to reduce the impact of plant fungal pathogens, but careful considerations should be taken to reduce the use of these chemicals.
