Organic Plant Disease Control

Many garden and landscape plants are susceptible to one or more plant diseases that can reduce the yield of vegetable crops and disfigure ornamental plants. Prevention is the best remedy to dealing with most plant diseases, which is much easier, and more effective, than treating a disease after it has affected a plant. This presentation will discuss correct disease diagnosis and eco-friendly approaches to disease management by understanding pathogen features, disease cycles, host resistance, environmental factors, and biological control agents.
