A plant disease is any abnormal condition that affects a plant’s health and well-being. Plant diseases can be caused by a variety of factors, including insects, fungi, bacteria, viruses, environmental factors, and even human activities. Plant diseases can cause reduced growth and yield, or even death in extreme cases. To minimize the impact of plant diseases, it is important to identify the cause, prevent or control the spread of the disease, and take appropriate action to manage the disease.
