diseases of plants Most plant diseases are caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Although the term disease is usually used only for the destruction of live plants, the action of dry rot and the rotting of harvested crops in storage or transport is similar to the rots of growing plants; both are caused by bacteria and fungi.

- Root Rot & Stem Rot: The fungi Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Botrytis, Phytophthora, Alternaria, and Sclerotinia cause these diseases. With root or stem rot, leaves and stems show a noticeable wilt. Stems may be girdled at or near soil level by a ring of brown or black tissue. Infected roots are brown to black and may be soft.

Signs and symptoms of plant disease: Is it fungal, viral or bacterial? A symptom of plant disease is a visible effect of disease on the plant. Symptoms may include a detectable change in color, shape or function of the plant as it responds to the pathogen. Leaf wilting is a typical symptom of verticilium wilt, caused by the fungal plant pathogens Verticillium albo-atrum and V. dahliae.

Wilt Disease Hibiscus wilt disease is no different from wilts that affect many ornamental plants. It is caused by fungi with such intimidating names as Fusarium oxysporum and Verticillium.he roots of infected plants do not show any rot except possibly in the late stages of the disease-if the plant survives that long. Once inside the hibiscus, the fungi disrupt the plant's capillary system, preventing water and nutrients from circulating normally.

- A plant disease is usually defined as abnormal growth and/or dysfunction of a plant. Diseases are the result of some disturbance in the normal life process of the plant. Diseases may be the result of living and/or non-living causes. Biotic diseases are caused by living organisms such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses.ven though a plant has symptoms on a specific part, it does not necessarily mean the damaged tissue contains the organism causing the symptoms. For example, a root rot can cause chlorosis and wilting of stems and leaves, BUT the disease causal organism is in the roots.

A Brief List of Plant Diseases Caused by Fungi Once one of your plants is infected by a fungus, it is important that you protect your other plants from the fungal infection. Plant diseases that are caused by fungi reduce the crops, create markings, affect the flowers and fruits, finally causing death of the plant.Majority of the plant diseases, about 8,000, are caused by fungi. Let's have a look at the major ones below.Along with fungi, even bacteria and viruses affect plants. At the same time, some plant diseases are caused by adverse environmental and climatic conditions.There are some plants that have a natural resistance to certain diseases, especially if these diseases and the plants have evolved together.nce one of your plants is infected by a fungus, it is important that you protect your other plants from the fungal infection. Plant diseases that are caused by fungi reduce the crops, create markings, affect the flowers and fruits, finally causing death of the plant.

Abiotic diseases 1 Wind-blown rain is a common way for disease agents to spread from plant to plant. 2  Biotic diseases sometimes show physical evidence (signs) of the pathogen, such as fungal growth, bacterial ooze, or nematode cysts, or the presence of mites or insects. 3  Abiotic diseases do not show the presence of disease signs. Abiotic damage often occurs on many plant species. 2  Drought stress or chemical drift will likely cause damage on several types of plants in a yard or garden. 3  In contrast, biotic disease problems are more limited to a certain species.

Plant pathology Most bacteria that are associated with plants are actually saprotrophic, and do no harm to the plant itself. However, a small number, around 100 known species, are able to cause disease. Bacterial diseases are much more prevalent in sub-tropical and tropical regions of the world.rganisms that cause infectious disease include fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, viruses, viroids, virus-like organisms, phytoplasmas, protozoa, nematodes and parasitic plants.

Plant Diseases Disease fungi take their energy from the plants on which they live. They are responsible for a great deal of damage and are characterized by wilting, scabs, moldy coatings, rusts, blotches and rotted tissue. This page is designed to help identify some of the more common plant diseases and provides earth-friendly solutions (see organic fungicides) for combatting them.

Plant disease 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. Plant cells contain special signaling pathways that enhance their defenses against insects, animals, and pathogens.

- Most plant diseases cause a loss of yield or damage the aesthetic qualities of the infected plant. Certain diseases of trees, however, weaken their structure and create a hazardous situation where property damage or serious bodily injury could result from falling limbs or the toppling of the entire tree.

- Other fungi provide numerous drugs (such as penicillin and other antibiotics), foods like mushrooms, truffles and morels, and the bubbles in bread, champagne, and beer. Fungi also cause a number of plant and animal diseases: in humans, ringworm, athlete's foot, and several more serious diseases are caused by fungi.Because fungi are more chemically and genetically similar to animals than other organisms, this makes fungal diseases very difficult to treat.Plant diseases caused by fungi include rusts, smuts, and leaf, root, and stem rots, and may cause severe damage to crops.ungi also cause a number of plant and animal diseases: in humans, ringworm, athlete's foot, and several more serious diseases are caused by fungi.

Fungi and Plant Disease Fungi are one of the living organisms that can cause plant disease and are the cause of about eighty-five percent of all plant diseases. More than 100,000 species of fungi have been classified and include molds, mildews, and mushrooms.owever, the majority of plant diseases are caused by two main groups of fungus—those from Phylum Ascomycota and Phylum Basidiomycota. Fungi in Ascomycota are commonly called sac fungi and include these species: 1  Diplocarpon rosae – causes black spot on roses. 2  Fusarium spp. – causes fusarium wilt.

Viral Disease of Plants Viral Disease of Plants. Plant viruses must enter the plant through a wound that can result from natural growth, mechanical injury, insects that puncture, or other plant infections. Some common insects that vector viral diseases are thrips, aphids, leafhoppers, and whitefly. Mechanical injury can occur when pruning, repotting, or propagating by budding or grafting.
