Plant Pathology
Plant pathology is the study of plant diseases, their causes, mechanisms of infection, and ways to manage or control them. It involves the study of pathogens (such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and other microbes) that cause diseases in plants, as well as the interactions between plants and pathogens. Plant pathologists work to understand, prevent, and manage plant diseases to ensure the health and productivity of crops and natural plant populations.
