Abstract | Diagnosing a plant disease or other injury is like going to a medical doctor who must ask several questions before making an accurate diagnosis and recommending a treatment. If you withhold information, it can lead to a misdiagnosis. The same goes for crop diseases. Plant pathologists, specifically diagnosticians, are often asked “What is wrong with my plant; followed by, what can I do to manage the problem?” In most cases it may be too late to save the specific plant, but a correct diagnosis is important to prescribe methods that prevent the problem on other plants or in the future. |
