Plant pathology - Disease Triangle

             Krishiratna Agriculture Notes


DiseaseTriangle

-          Plant disease is caused when plant attacked by pathogen or abiotic factors.

“ The interaction between three component i.e. Host , Pathogen and Env of disease has been visualized as triangle generally called as disease traingle       

                                                           P

                                       H  E


Area of triangle PHE  represents the amount of disease    

     

Host:- 

-Side HE represents the host side of the disease triangle.

- If the host is resistant, matured and widely spaced the host side will be small or zero therefore amount of disease will be small or zero.  

   

Pathogen:-

-          - Side HP of triangle represents pathogen side of the disease triangle.    

-         - If the pathogen is Virulent , abundant and active the pathogen side will be longer and the amount of disease is also greater as the area of triangle  increases.

 

Environment :-

-Side PE of triangle represents environment side of the disease triangle.

- If the env factors like Extreme temperature, Extreme moisture , Extreme nutrients, Extreme light , Extreme humidty , Extreme soil PH etc increases the env side so amount of disease is greater as area of triangle increases.
