Plant Disease Diagnosis

Accurate plant disease diagnosis is crucial for effective crop management. Traditional methods involve visual inspection of symptoms like leaf spots, wilting, or discoloration, while advanced techniques use molecular tools for precise identification. Technologies like PCR, DNA barcoding, and ELISA enable early detection of pathogens, allowing timely interventions. Farmers can use diagnostic kits, mobile apps, or seek support from extension services for real-time solutions. Disease mapping and remote sensing further enhance surveillance and management strategies. By integrating traditional knowledge with modern diagnostics, agricultural stakeholders can minimize losses, protect crops, and ensure sustainable farming practices, addressing global food security challenges.
