Infectious Plant Diseases: Etiology Current Status Problems and Prospects in Plant Protection

摘要

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of diseases caused bybacterial, fungal, and viral infections. Infections affect plants at differentstages of agricultural production. Depending on weather conditions and thephytosanitary condition of crops, the prevalence of diseases can reach70–80% of the total plant population, and the yield can decrease in somecases down to 80–98%. Plants have innate cellular immunity, but specificphytopathogens have an ability to evade that immunity. This article examinedphytopathogens of viral, fungal, and bacterial nature and explored the conceptsof modern plant protection, methods of chemical, biological, and agrotechnicalcontrol, as well as modern methods used for identifying phytopathogens.
