Postharvest crop pathology focuses on the study of diseases and microbial infections that affect crops after harvest. These pathogens can cause significant losses in both quantity and quality of harvested produce, making it a crucial field in agriculture and horticulture. By understanding how postharvest diseases develop, researchers can develop strategies to control and prevent these issues, such as improving storage conditions, using antifungal treatments, and developing disease-resistant crop varieties. Effective management of postharvest diseases helps extend the shelf life of fruits, vegetables, and grains, reducing waste and ensuring that consumers have access to healthy and safe produce. This field is vital for ensuring food security and minimizing economic losses in agriculture.
