An Overview of Diseases in Ornamental Plants

Ornamental plants represent a significant component of agriculture, exhibiting considerable versatility in their application and frequently attaining relatively high sale prices for certain species. A number of factors have been identified that act as inhibitors during the process of cultivation. The disturbance of plant diseases is known to have a particularly deleterious effect. The absence of expertise among ornamental plant cultivators results in a protracted response to diseases, leading to adverse disturbances that can be deleterious. In this observation, the author seeks to provide information regarding various diseases that have the potential to affect ornamental plants. The present study was conducted through the observation of ornamental plants on a global scale. The causative agents of the disease are predominantly pathogens derived from fungal, bacterial, viral, and other sources. It is a fact that pathogens are capable of attacking all parts of a plant, including the leaves, trees, roots, and flowers. It is to be hoped that, following the acquisition of knowledge regarding the diseases that can affect ornamental plants, ornamental plant growers will become more vigilant and implement preventive measures to control them. The recommended measures for the management of diseases may encompass various strategies, including physical control, technical cultivation, and the utilization of antagonistic fungi.
