Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into cutting-edge research and practical applications aimed at minimizing the impact of plant pathogens while promoting ecological balance and agricultural sustainability. From advanced biotechnological interventions to eco-friendly farming practices, the issue covers a spectrum of strategies designed to enhance plant health, resilience, and productivity. Key topics include biocontrol agents, precision agriculture techniques, integrated pest management, genetic resistance breeding, and the utilization of beneficial microorganisms. By synthesizing interdisciplinary insights, the issue aims to foster collaboration among scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to address the global challenge of plant disease management in a sustainable and holistic manner.
