Phytopathology or plant pathology is the science of diagnosing and managing plant diseases. It covers all infectious agents that attack plants and abiotic disorders, but does not include herbivory by insects, mammals, etc. Approximately ten percent of food production is lost to disease worldwide.
Common plant pathogens (in rough order of importance) include species from these groups:
- Fungi - the most common pathogens (root rot fungi, molds, rusts, and mildews).
- Water molds (Oomycetes) - such as Phytophthora infestans (potato blight).
- Bacteria - prokaryotic organisms which include as many as 18 genera.
- Viruses - more than 700 are plant pathogens, comprised of only protein and DNA.
- Roundworms (Nematoda) - both as pathogens and vectors, the only animals normally regarded as plant pathogens.
- Viroids - small, single-stranded RNA pathogens causing a dozen plus diseases.
- Parasitic angiosperms - plants that parasitize other plants, mistletoe and witchweed are common examples.
- Slime molds (Myxomycetes) - usually not actual pathogens but may be aesthetically unpleasant.
- Phytomyxea - true pathogens represented by the genera Polymyxa and Plasmodiophora
