Study Notes
Plant Disease and Management
- Plant disease is best defined as the impairment of normal plant function, leading to adverse effects on plant growth, development, and productivity.
The Disease Triangle
- The disease triangle is a concept that describes the three essential components necessary for disease to occur: a susceptible host, a virulent pathogen, and a favorable environment.
Key Requirement for Disease to Occur
- The key requirement for disease to occur, according to the disease triangle, is the simultaneous presence of these three components.
Integrative Disease Management
- Integrative disease management involves the use of multiple approaches, including cultural, biological, genetic, and chemical controls, to manage plant diseases in a holistic and environmentally friendly manner.
Exploiting the Disease Triangle in Management
- The disease triangle can be exploited in the management of plant diseases by disrupting one or more of the three components, making it difficult for disease to occur.
- This can be achieved through strategies such as crop rotation, sanitation, biological control, and resistant cultivars.
