The answer lies in the Structure Of The Leaf, which act as the plant’s food factories. Let’s delve into the various parts of a leaf and understand how...

Plant Disease

Plant Disease

Recognizing and Avoiding Common Plant Illnesses Plant Disease? A healthy plant can synthesize proteins to grow, absorb water and nutrients, and translocate them to where they are needed. It can perform photosynthesis and lose by-products through the roots and transpiration. Reproduction enables it to bear fruit or seeds. However, just like humans and animals, plants can get sick, resulting in visible symptoms. They can be attacked by insects and pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Ill health can also...
