Summary
Exploring of plant diseases is crucial since they reduce the yield of agricultural commodities. The many losses that might happen to plants can also happen in the field, in storage, or at any point between the time of planting and harvesting. Overall, plant diseases continue to be a significant production-limiting factor in the agriculture sector. The use of chemical pesticides stills the main routine method for managing plant diseases. The use of chemical pesticides to control plant diseases generates severe issues with food safety, environmental quality, and pesticide resistance, necessitating the demand for alternative disease management means. Pathogenic organisms like fungi, bacteria, viruses and nematodes are the principal causes of infectious plant diseases. Fruit, vegetables, ornamental plants, field crops and woody trees can be attacked by plant diseases. Traditional and modern techniques for controlling plant disease including agricultural practices, biological management, breeding approach, physical disease-control methods, chemical control, nanotechnology methods are welcome for this special issue. We welcome submissions of both original research and review articles that contribute, but are not limited, to any manuscripts focusing on plant diseases.
