Definition
Crop disease is a phenomenon of morbidity or even death due to biotic and abiotic stresses during the growth and development of crops, resulting in pathological changes in their physiology and tissue structure. Crop diseases significantly affect crop growth and development and ultimately reduce crop yield and deterioration in quality. Therefore, timely and effective crop disease monitoring using specific methods can protect the ecological environment and ensure national food security.
Overview
Crop disease is an essential biological disaster affecting crops’ growth and development. In terms of appearance, it usually manifests as necrosis of tissue structures, such as leaf dehydration, stem, grain, and fruit rot. Crop disease affects grain yield and quality in agricultural production. Crop diseases have the characteristics of large-scale explosive disasters due to a wide variety of species, which makes the effective development of crop disease prevention and control face a...
