Plant pathology, the study of plant diseases and their causes, dates back to ancient civilizations where farmers observed the impact of diseases on crops. In the 19th century, significant advancements were made with the identification of pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses. The establishment of mycology and bacteriology as scientific disciplines further propelled the understanding of plant diseases. Over time, plant pathology evolved into a distinct field that combines elements of microbiology, genetics, and environmental science to address challenges in agriculture and food security.

In plant pathology, a lesion refers to a localized area of damage or abnormality on a plant's tissue, often resulting from disease, insect infestation, or environmental stress. Lesions can manifest as spots, blights, or cankers, and they often indicate the presence of pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, or viruses. The appearance and severity of lesions can significantly impact a plant's health, growth, and overall yield. Monitoring and managing lesions is crucial for effective plant disease management.
