Extractions: Landscape plants represent a substantial investment in the aesthetic appearance of the home and commercial landscape. Plant diseases can affect the survival or aesthetic value of these plants. Since landscape plants are generally costly, landscape managers and homeowners need to be aware that preventive maintenance to control diseases is less expensive than buying replacement plants. Understanding diseases. The causes of plant diseases in the landscape are often misunderstood. This is because they may be incited by microbes (pathogens) that are not easily seen, and because the diseases result from complex interactions between the landscape plants, the disease-causing pathogens, and the environment affecting the interactions. Homeowners and landscape managers need to be aware of several important concepts regarding plant diseases: a) Landscape plants differ in their disease susceptibility or resistance. Many nurseries label disease resistant cultivars (e.g., flowering crabapples) for the customer's information. Furthermore, susceptibility of many landscape plants to disease can be altered by the growing conditions. Plants having low energy reserves due to drought, injuries, and poor nutrition may have little energy left to fight diseases. b) Many pathogens such as fungi and bacteria, are living microbes, and cause infections and disease. However, some "diseases" such as iron deficiency chlorosis, limb dieback, and tree decline are caused by adverse growing conditions such as soil nutrient or pH imbalance, construction injuries, or soil compaction.
Bio-5--Plant Disease Diagnostics to detect diseasecausing organisms of plants (plant pathogens). With thistechnique, the location of a disease-causing pathogen within the host http://www.biotech.iastate.edu/biotech_info_series/bio5.html
Extractions: Topics The first and most important step in managing a plant disease is to correctly identify it. Although some diseases can be diagnosed quickly by visual examination, others require laboratory testing for diagnosis. These laboratory procedures may take days or even weeks to complete and are, in some cases, relatively insensitive. Delays are frustrating when a quick diagnosis is needed so that appropriate disease control measures may be taken to prevent plant injury, especially when high value cash crops, turf grass, or ornamentals are at stake. Fortunately, as the result of advances in biotechnology, new products and techniques are becoming available that will complement or replace time-consuming laboratory procedures. Many products already are available for use, while others are still in developmental stages. Some procedures require laboratory equipment and training, while other procedures can be performed on site by a person with no specialized training.

Plant Diseases- Ornamental Plant Disease Management The pathogen is the causal agent of plant disease. In many instances, thesepathogens are not widely distributed. For example, Sclerotium rolfsii is the http://grounds-mag.com/mag/grounds_maintenance_stop_ornamental_diseases/
Extractions: Ornamental plant diseases can significantly affect the aesthetic quality of many plants in the landscape. Not only do some of these diseases impact appearance in this season, but they also impact overall plant health and survival during seasonal weather changes. Managing ornamental diseases begins with the selection of resistant ornamental plants, maintaining adequate nutrition and irrigation, adopting appropriate cultural practices and providing the right environment for plants. To avoid a never-ending disease prone condition, it is critical to adopt a disease management program before getting to the point where fungicide applications are necessary. For some budget-stressed grounds managers, fungicides are not an available option. Consequently, this article focuses on non-fungicidal disease-management programs. When we consider options for plant disease management it is important to consider how our management plans augment disease development (See Figure 1, page 25).
Midwest Biological Control News A Pictorial Guide to Biological Control of plant diseases, compiled by JE 13 examples list the name of the disease, the pathogen, and the biocontrol. http://www.entomology.wisc.edu/mbcn/rev504.html
Extractions: News and Reviews Slide Set on Biological Control of Plant Pathogens A Pictorial Guide to Biological Control of Plant Diseases , compiled by J. E. Loper and L. J. Stowell and originally produced in 1992 by The American Phytopathological Society, is currently available for purchase. This slide set is an excellent resource for anyone who needs to describe principles of biological control or show specific examples of plant disease biocontrol. The slide set consists of 70 full-color slides organized by disease along with the biocontrol strategy for each. Introductory slides provide a definition of biological control and a summary of tactics, and list different mechanisms of biocontrol. Title slides inserted at the beginning of each of the 13 examples list the name of the disease, the pathogen, and the biocontrol. Examples were carefully selected to represent the different biocontrol mechanisms and to include diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses on a variety of crops and forest tree species. Modification of cultural practices to control disease is illustrated by the use of green manures to reduce Verticillium wilt of potato , incorporation of organic amendments to avocado orchards to maintain soil suppressiveness to Phytophthora root rot , soil packing to cure Valsa canker disease of apple , and monoculture of wheat to develop soils suppressive to take-all of wheat. Examples of biocontrol through the use of antibiotic-producing antagonists include application of bacteria to wheat seed to control take-all, inoculation of woody plants with
PLANT DISEASE AND PLANT DISEASE DIAGNOSIS LIVING (BIOTIC) ORGANISMS THAT CAUSE plant DISEASE. The pathogens that As long as pathogens and host plants can be kept apart, disease will not develop. http://scarab.msu.montana.edu/Diagnostics/DiseaseDiag.htm
Extractions: Martha Mikkelson, Plant Disease Diagnostician, Montana State University WHAT IS A PLANT DISEASE? Plants and plant products are tremendously important for human survival since they provide food, clothing, furniture, a stable environment, and often housing. Plants, whether cultivated or wild, generally grow well when the soil provides them with sufficient nutrients and moisture, sufficient light reaches their leaves, and the temperature stays within a "normal" range. However, like people, plants can get sick. Agents similar to those that cause disease in people also can cause diseases in plants. A stricter definition usually includes any persistent irritation resulting in plant damage and characteristic symptoms. This definition includes such factors as pathogens, insufficient nitrogen, and air pollution.. However, it excludes factors such as lawnmower injury to trees and lightning injury since this damage presumably is a one-time occurrence.
Soil Health - Plant Disease About pathogens which cause plant disease. Organisms that cause plant diseasesare called pathogens. They include microorganisms such as fungi, http://www.soilhealth.segs.uwa.edu.au/management/disease
Extractions: Newsletters Organisms that cause plant diseases are called pathogens. They include microorganisms such as fungi bacteria and viruses, some species of protozoas and nematodes. Pathogenic organisms are usually a normal component of the soil population and naturally exist in relatively low numbers. Some pathogenic species only cause disease in one species of plant, but others can cause disease on plants that are not closely related to each other. Koch was a scientist who, in the 1880s, proposed a method for identifying the organism responsible for a disease. When his procedure is applied to identifying plant diseases the following must occur for the identification to be successful: An organism is isolated from a plant showing symptoms of the disease.
Unit 1 - Pests And Pest Control In some crops, you can control or reduce certain plant disease pathogens by Chemicals used to control plant disease pathogens include fungicides and http://pested.unl.edu/priv1c.htm
Extractions: A plant disease is any harmful condition that makes a plant different from a normal plant in its appearance or function. Plant diseases caused by biological agents (pathogens) are the ones most important for you to know about, because pesticides are often used to control them. Pathogens include: Parasitic seed plants (discussed in the section on weeds) and nematodes (discussed in the section on insect-like pests) are sometimes considered plant disease agents because of the type of injury they cause to the host plant. Pathogens that cause plant disease are parasites that live and feed on plant debris and on or in host plants. Many can be passed from one plant to another. Three factors are required before a pathogenic disease can develop a susceptible host plant, a pathogenic agent, and an environment favorable for development of the pathogen. A pathogenic disease depends on the life cycle of the parasite and on environmental conditions. Temperature and moisture, for example, affect the activity of the parasite, the ease with which a plant becomes diseased, and the way the disease develops.
