Plants Get Sick Too!

     Author: Sarah D. Ellis

Since the beginning of agriculture, farmers have developed methods for managing weeds, insect pests and diseases. Due to the significant impact from pests and diseases, on both human and animal health, it is important for those interested in plants to develop a firm understanding of weed science, entomology (study of insects) and plant pathology (study of plant disease), and how to minimize losses caused by these important plant pests. This video will highlight plant diseases and give resources for more information on plant pathology. Also visit the Chlorofilms web site for more videos on plants: www.chlorofilms.org.
