Plant pathology or Phytopathology is the “study of suffering plants”. It is the branch of agricultural, botanical or biological science in which we studding the suffering plants. The book covers the entire field of plant pathology. It provides up-to-date information and discusses both general and specialized topics. The book also meets the complete requirements of agriculture students. The simplicity and soft language of the text makes the book different and attractive.
