Description
Summary:Plant disease management requires early intervention, which has traditionally required extensive scouting and surveillance to guide decision-making. Visual inspection, unfortunately, requires conditions for disease symptom expression and expertise in identifying causal organisms and may delay management strategies that prevent losses associated with a given plant pathogen. Advances in spore trap technology and molecular diagnostic technologies provide opportunities for greater confidence in pathogen detection and implementation by scientists, farmers, and regulatory agencies.
