Plant Diseases

“Plant Diseases” by R.S. Mathur offers a clear, practical guide to understanding how plant diseases develop and how they can be identified and managed. The book explores the major causes of plant illness—such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses—and explains the conditions that allow these pathogens to spread. With an emphasis on real-world observation, it helps readers recognize symptoms early, understand how diseases progress, and learn effective approaches to prevention and control. Ideal for students, growers, and plant enthusiasts, it turns complex disease processes into actionable knowledge for protecting healthy crops and improving plant health. Plant Diseases is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1891.
