Horticulturae | Established New Section “Plant Pathology and Disease Management (PPDM)”

We are pleased to announce the new Section “Plant Pathology and Disease Management (PPDM)” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/horticulturae/sections/PPDM) in journal Horticulturae. Prof. Dr. Harald Scherm is serving as the Section Editor-in-Chief.

The Section Plant Pathology and Disease Management (PPDM) publishes original manuscripts on the causes, mechanisms, and control of plant diseases in horticultural crops, including vegetables, fruit trees, vines, berries, ornamental shrubs and trees, flowers, and aromatic and medicinal plants. The Section PPDM welcomes submissions describing fundamental and applied research on all plant pathogen types and in all domains of plant pathology (e.g., disease etiology, diagnosis, ecology and epidemiology, plant–pathogen interactions, host resistance, and disease management).

In particular, PPDM welcomes contributions by early-career researchers and proposals for review topics. In addition, we invite senior scientists to initiate and serve as Guest Editors of new Special Issues on timely topics.
