Market Overview Plant pathology, also known as phytopathology is the study of identifying and treating plant diseases. It includes all infectious agents that attack plants and abiotic disorders but includes insects, mammals, and other animals.
Market Dynamics Recent advances in molecular diagnostics of fungal plant pathogens is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Phytopathogenic fungal species can cause enormous losses in quantity and quality of crop yields, and this is a major economic issue in the global agricultural sector. Precise and rapid detection and identification of plant infecting fungi are essential to facilitate effective disease management. Molecular techniques used in plant disease diagnostics must be more reliable, faster, and easier than conventional methods. DNA-based methods have become popular methods for accurate plant disease diagnostics.
Moreover, recent developments in standard and variant polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays including nested, multiplex, quantitative, bio and magnetic-capture hybridization PCR techniques, post and isothermal amplification methods, DNA and RNA based probe development, and next-generation sequencing provide novel tools in molecular diagnostics in fungal detection and differentiation fields.
These molecular-based detection techniques effectively detect symptomatic and asymptomatic diseases of both culturable and unculturable fungal pathogens insole and co-infections. Even though the molecular diagnostic approaches have expanded substantially in the recent past, there is a long way to go in developing and applying molecular diagnostics in plant diseases.
Market Restraints:
Lack of skilled personnel, limited knowledge about plant health, Agriculture companies' reluctance to pay the upfront costs of phytopathological disease diagnoses are some of the factors the market is expected to hamper the market in the forecast period.
