Plant pathology is a discipline that deals with the study of organisms that cause diseases in plants, and study of those factors in which these organisms of the induce diseases in plants and the mechanisms of controlling the diseases. Plant pathology is an interdisciplinary science that includes knowledge of botany, microbiology, crop science, soil science, ecology, genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, and physiology.
