Plant pathology is an applied science that deals with the
nature, causes and control of plant diseases in agriculture and forestry. The
vital role of plant pathology in attaining food security and food safety for the
world cannot be overemphasized.
This book covers
the following topics in plant pathology: Necrotic diseases caused by bacteria
and fungi, hypoplastic diseases caused by fungi and phanerogams, metaplastic
diseases caused by slime-molds, bacteria, fungi and phanerogams.
