Disease

Diseases significantly affect crop health and productivity by reducing photosynthesis, stunting growth, and damaging plant tissues.

Fungal diseases, such as powdery mildew and rusts, can spread rapidly under favourable conditions, leading to widespread infections.

Bacterial and viral pathogens, including bacterial spot and cucumber mosaic virus, often enter through wounds or insect vectors, causing systemic damage and reducing marketable yield.

Effective disease management is crucial for maintaining plant vigour, protecting quality, and ensuring production efficiency.
