Reports on Phytopathology

Phytopathology is the scientific study of plant diseases caused by pathogens (infectious organisms) and environmental conditions (physiological factors). Plant pathology also involves the study of pathogen identification, disease etiology, disease cycles, economic impact, plant disease epidemiology, plant disease resistance, how plant diseases affect humans and animals, pathosystems genetics, and management of plant diseases. Control of plant diseases is crucial to the reliable production of food, and it provides significant reductions in agricultural use of land, water, fuel and other inputs. Plant diseases can be broadly classified according to the nature of their primary causal agent, either infectious or non-infectious. Infectious plant diseases are caused by a pathogenic organism such as a fungus, bacterium, mycoplasma, virus, viroid, nematode, or parasitic flowering plant. Plant diseases are a normal part of nature and one of many ecological factors that help keep the hundreds of thousands of living plants and animals in balance with one another. Any environmental factor that favors the growth of parasites or disease transmitters or that is unfavourable to the growth of the plants will lead to Increases in the likelihood of infection and the amount of destruction caused by parasitic disease. Journal of Plant Physiology & Pathology emerges as a best indexed journal with impact factor compared to other competitive journals focusing especially on topics related to plant physiology & pathology by bringing up the recent research to global scientific community through its publications. The papers submitted are undergone through perfect plagiarism checks, later peer reviewed by the expert group and published after through revisions
