Recent advancement in plant disease management

Abstract Plant Pathology is the science of studying plant diseases that renders the disease-management answers to the farmers. It ameliorates the disease-management approaches to attain food security and food safety for the world. Phytopathogens, with their rapid dispersibility and adaptiveness in variable domains, overcome all the active sources of disease management. The practices of monoculturing and intensive inputs of agrochemicals serve as the selection pressures for the pathogen’s adaptation and evolution. Therefore with the understanding of the dynamic nature of the plant diseases, the outsmart management approach must be in line with the environmental-acceptability and circumstances prevailing in the agriculture field and markets. The approaches of sustainable intensification with modern technical advancements offered new opportunities in the form of an integrated systems-based viewpoint for disease management. They unlash the molecular premises of the plant immunity by discovering some novel insights into the host–pathogen interactions. For the future aspects of plant pathology, more integrated management strategies are needed to increase the resilience of the crops against phytopathogens.
