Bacterial Diseases
- Cause: Bacteria can infect plants through wounds or natural openings. They thrive in warm, humid environments and spread through water, contaminated tools, or insects.
- Examples:
- Fire Blight: Affects apples and pears, causing a burnt appearance on branches and leaves.
- Bacterial Wilt: Affects crops like cucumbers and tomatoes, leading to sudden wilting of leaves.
- Bacterial Leaf Spot: Small, water-soaked spots that eventually turn brown or black, affecting crops like lettuce and peppers.
- Symptoms: Leaf spots, wilting, cankers, rotting, and galls.
