Bacterial Plant Diseases & Their Management

Bacterial diseases in plants are triggered by harmful bacteria that invade various plant parts, causing signs like wilting, blights, galls and leaf spots. These infections commonly spread via contaminated water, infected plant debris or unclean farming tools. Effective disease control strategies involve the use of healthy seeds, implementing crop rotation, eliminating infected plants and applying bactericides. Early and accurate diagnosis from plant pathology laboratories is vital for identifying the pathogen and ensuring proper treatment. These practices help reduce crop damage and support better agricultural yields.
