Plant Disease cycles
The plant disease cycle represents the sequence of events by which a pathogen infects and spreads through a plant population. This cycle begins when a pathogen encounters a susceptible host, followed by stages like entry, establishment, symptom development, reproduction, and dissemination. Pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes each have distinct cycles that may be influenced by environmental conditions like moisture, temperature, and soil health. Recognizing each stage of the disease cycle allows farmers and researchers to devise strategic interventions, like timely pesticide applications, resistant plant varieties, or crop rotation. By targeting critical points in the cycle, such as initial infection or spore dispersal, it’s possible to reduce disease spread, enhance crop resilience, and ultimately improve agricultural productivity.
