This journal focuses on the study of plant diseases caused by various pathogens, including fungi, bacteria, and oomycetes. Research covers the identification, pathogenicity, and genetic diversity of these pathogens, as well as their impact on crop yield and quality. The journal also investigates disease management strategies, including the efficacy of fungicides, biological control agents, and integrated pest management approaches. Furthermore, it explores the influence of environmental factors and climate change on disease dynamics and the application of digital technologies and artificial intelligence in plant pathology.
