"Plant pathology (also phytopathology) is the scientific study of diseases in plants caused by pathogens (infectious organisms) and environmental conditions (physiological factors)."
The study of plant diseases, their causes, symptoms, and control, including the use of pesticides, biological controls, and other management strategies.
"Organisms that cause infectious disease include fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, viruses, viroids, virus-like organisms, phytoplasmas, protozoa, nematodes, and parasitic plants."
"Not included are ectoparasites like insects, mites, vertebrate, or other pests that affect plant health by eating plant tissues."
"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, pathosystem genetics, and management of plant diseases."
