Fungal Diseases
- Cause: Fungi are the most common cause of plant diseases. They spread through spores carried by wind, water, or soil, and infect plants by penetrating tissues.
- Examples:
- Powdery Mildew: White powdery growth on leaves and stems, commonly affects cucumbers, grapes, and apples.
- Rust: Rust-colored spots on leaves, seen in crops like wheat and beans.
- Botrytis Blight (Gray Mold): Grayish mold on flowers and leaves, affecting crops like strawberries and tomatoes.
- Symptoms: Spots, blights, wilting, rotting, leaf curls.
