Associated with International Society for Plant Pathology (ISPP)
The Phytopathological Society is the premier society dedicated to high – quality, innovative plant pathology research. For more than a century, members of Phytopathological Society have been making and sharing significant breakthroughs, both for the science and society. Phytopathological Society is driven by a distinctive community of scientists, whose energy and commitment ensure the global advancement of this critical science.
Development of new and innovative ways to control plant diseases is a constant challenge for plant pathologists. Plant diseases may be managed by altering the host plant, the pathogen, and/or the environment. Examples include growing resistant plant varieties, planting pathogen-free seed or stock, applying a biological control agent, modifying environmental conditions to decrease disease, and using plant medicines that inhibit or kill the pathogen without harming the plant or the environment.
