Disease management (agriculture)
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2024) |
In agriculture, disease management is the practice of minimizing disease in crops to increase quantity or quality of harvest yield.
Organisms that cause infectious disease in crops include fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, viruses, viroids, virus-like organisms, phytoplasmas, protozoa, nematodes and parasitic plants. Crops can also suffer from ectoparasites including insects, mites, snails, slugs, and vertebrate animals, but these are not considered diseases.
Controlling diseases can be achieved by resistance genes,[1] fungicides, nematicides, quarantine, etc. Disease management can be a large part of farm operating costs.[2]
