“…The damaged parts of the plants should be removed, and all the pruning material should be removed during the dry weather. Enfolding fledgling trees to prevent high infestation of insects and pests and covering the surface by burning nettle helps to avoid the pathogen to some extent (KC et al, 2022). Evading congestion, drowning, and mechanical wounds also avoid the cankers.…”

Plant pathogens, encompassing a diverse array of microbes including fungi, nematodes, protozoa, bacteria, and viruses, represent a significant threat to agricultural stability by compromising plant health. These microorganisms engage in a complex battle against plant immune systems, leading to diseases that can drastically diminish crop yields, degrade product quality, and in extreme cases, cause total crop failure. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying plant infection, the specific pathogens involved, and the strategy for effective prevention is crucial for agricultural sustainability. This review paper provides a detailed examination of the multifaceted interactions between plant pathogens and their hosts, focusing on the entry mechanisms, symptom development, and prevention strategies against plant diseases. Major findings reveal the intricate ways pathogens interact with plant immune responses, the critical role of environmental factors in disease outbreaks, and the effectiveness of integrated disease management approaches. The paper concludes with a novel perspective, emphasizing the urgent need for sustainable, science-based strategies to enhance plant resistance, safeguard food security, and mitigate the economic consequences of plant pathogenic diseases. This synthesis not only advances our understanding of plant pathology but also sets a framework for future research directions in plant disease management.

The fungal disease Verticillium wilt is a soil-borne pathogen that is caused by Verticillium dahliae. This disease affects a wide range of crops and can cause significant yield losses. Recent findings suggest that Verticillium wilt has been affecting potato crops in abundant demesne around the global world, including in North America, parts of Europe, and Asia. In some cases, the disease has been observed in fields where it has not been previously reported, indicating that it may be spreading. Farmers and researchers are working to manage the disease through a variety of measures, including rotation of crops, the use of resistant varieties of potato developed from resistant strains, and the application of fungicides. However, the potency of these measures can variegate depending on the ferocity of the disease and the local growing circumstances. Overall, the recent findings of Verticillium wilt in potatoes underscore the importance of continued monitoring and research to better understand the disease and develop effective management strategies. This review paper is written with the intention of consolidating and disseminating up-to-date information on Verticillium wilt and management strategies. By providing a comprehensive assessment, the paper contributes to the scientific community's understanding of this devastating plant disease.

“…Aqueous, distilled or fermented extract of Urtica sp. is known to be carrying high amounts of secondary metabolites, for example flavonoids, other phenolic compounds or lectins (Joshi et al, 2014;Sehari et al, 2020;Langa-Lomba et al, 2021;Majedi et al, 2021;Devkota et al, 2022;Shreejana et al, 2022). Some of the secondary metabolites found in nettle extracts are known to have insecticidal effects on aphids, for example the flavonoid quercetin or the group of lectins (Vandenborre et al, 2011;Goławska et al, 2014;Hikal et al, 2017).…”

Natural and environmental-friendly approaches to control pests and diseases in horticultural production systems are showing an increasing trend. Biological alternatives, such as botanical extracts and basic substances, show promise in the reduction of the necessity for conventional plant protectants. In ornamentals, less is known about the usage, behaviour and potential of botanicals and basic substances for plant protection. In two trials, we investigated the effect of a weekly foliar spray of an aqueous extract of nettle (Urtica sp.; dried material 15 g · L–1) on two aphids, Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Aulacorthum solani. Experiments were conducted in the greenhouse with Ranunculus asiaticus as hostplant. The Urtica tea and azadirachtin (NeemAzal-T/S) as a standard used in common horticultural production were compared with the water control. Both previously infested and noninfested plants were built up to examine the effect on aphid population growth and migration. As a result, we showed that both treatments, Urtica tea and azadirachtin, reduce the aphid density significantly in comparison with the water control, although the effect of the Urtica tea was not as substantial as that of azadirachtin. Contrarily, treatments could not prevent aphid migration on previously noninfested plants. The study demonstrates that the basic substance Urtica tea can be suitable for the reduction of aphid pests in ornamental plant production, and thus, reduce the amount of synthetic plant protectants in horticulture.
