Abiotic Diseases (Non-Infectious)
- Cause: Abiotic diseases are caused by environmental factors rather than pathogens. These factors include poor soil conditions, nutrient deficiencies, excessive watering, temperature extremes, pollution, and chemical exposure.
- Examples:
- Nutrient Deficiency: Lack of essential nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, or calcium, resulting in yellowing or deformed leaves.
- Water Stress: Overwatering or underwatering can cause wilting, leaf drop, or root rot.
- Frost Damage: Cold temperatures cause tissue death, leading to blackened leaves and stems.
- Symptoms: Wilting, yellowing, stunted growth, leaf burn.
