Plant pathology is the scientific study of diseases in plants, including their causes, mechanisms, and management strategies. Research published in Agronomy Research on this topic addresses both biological control methods and integrated disease management approaches for economically important crops. Studies have examined the use of organic and vermicomposts as substrates for mass-culturing beneficial fungi like Trichoderma harzianum to combat soil-borne pathogens such as Sclerotium rolfsii in groundnut production. Additional work has investigated how soil and foliar nutrient applications influence disease severity in garlic, specifically examining purple blotch and tip-burn conditions. The journal has also published research on managing Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, an emerging fungal pathogen responsible for white mold disease across multiple crop systems. More recently, investigations have explored the application of deep learning techniques and transfer learning models for automated detection of leaf diseases in corn plants. This research matters because plant diseases significantly reduce crop yields and quality worldwide, and developing effective, sustainable management strategies—whether through biological control, nutritional interventions, or advanced diagnostic technologies—is essential for maintaining agricultural productivity and food security.
