Description :

The Plant Pathology textbook is a guide that discusses the relationship between host plants, pathogens, and environmental factors through the concept of the "Disease Triangle." This book explains various causes of plant disease, such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes, as well as abiotic factors such as nutrient deficiencies that can compromise plant health. The discussion is structured in a coherent manner, starting with the recognition of physical symptoms such as chlorosis and necrosis, through the infection process, and disease control strategies.

This book also emphasizes the importance of early detection and sustainable plant health management to maintain agricultural productivity. The main issue addressed is the challenges faced by farmers and agricultural practitioners in dealing with increasingly dynamic plant diseases due to climate change and ecosystem changes. With its scientific yet easy-to-understand presentation, this book is a relevant reference for students, academics, and agricultural practitioners seeking to understand the fundamentals of phytopathology and plant protection.
