Description

Plant pathogenic bacteria are more common than fungi or viruses, but they also cause fewer severe plant diseases over the world, as well as less physical harm and financial loss. Most plants, both cultivated and wild, have intrinsic defences against many diseases. However, many plants can harbour infections without showing any symptoms. Many people are aware that plants can transmit sickness through bacteria if consumed after improper cleaning. E. coli or listeria is the most well-known of these ailments. Many people don't realise that plants can also contract diseases brought on by bacteria that compromise the health of the plant's cells. While the majority of bacteria are unharmful to plants, there are those that can kill a plant or do great damage to it. Bacterial illnesses are common and challenging to recognise and manage. There aren't many insecticides available for use in control, and many plant pathologists lack the knowledge necessary to effectively manage bacterial illnesses. For students, academic and industrial scientists, farmers, extension agents, and other people who work with susceptible crops, Bacterial illnesses of Crop Plants provides comprehensive information on bacterial illnesses of crops.
