Different Sickness that harms trees

Even though trees are the initial source of medicine and herbs that treat sickness and wounds, they are prone to infections. Like other living organisms, these sickness can be researched and treated accordingly.
​
Trees can be contaminated by various sickness, for instance, bacterial, fungal, viral, parasitic, bug or nematode diseases. These sickness could make the life of the trees end or lead to its decline in wellbeing.
 
Here we have listed 3 of the critical classifications of the most generally recognized sickness that impact trees:

1.) Bacterial Diseases

Bacteria are one of the most broadly recognized causes of plant’s sickness. They are microscopic organic life forms that increase their quantity rapidly. The bacteria are mostly found on dead leaves, bark, branches, twigs, roots, and soil.

Bacterial sickness can be divided into two classes - systemized and non-systemized. Systemized sickness spreads through the entire body of the plant, while non- systemized sicknesses attack specific pieces of the plants.

Typical bacterial sickness shows dark spot, bacterial leaf blight, damping-off, crown nerve, fire blight, gray mold, root decay, Septoria Leaf Spot, Sudden Oak Death Syndrome (SOD), white decay, etc.

The secondary effects that could perceive you it's a bacterial ailment include:
·         Darkening of the foliage
·         Yellowing of the leaves
·         Stem dieback
·         Branch dieback
·         Foliage drop
·         Shrink
·         Brown spots on the leaves

Bacterial contaminations in trees can be managed using fungicides, pesticides, organic control agents, and antibiotics. If the issue is not a laughing matter, pruning should help.

2.) Fungal Diseases
​
Another kind of microscopic organism that spreads incredibly fast is fungi. They are present on decaying matter and infected wood. Fungi include mold, rust, anthracnose, brown smear, blue stain, etc.

Other effects that could exhibit a fungal disease include:

a) Water-soaked lesions on the leaves
b) Severe withering
c) Blackened parts on the leaves

Fungicide sprays, fungal oils, copper-based things, sulfur, and lime sulfur are a couple of prescriptions available for fungal based sickness attacking a tree.

3.) Viral Diseases

Viruses are minuscule infectious agents that reproduce inside the cells of their host organism. They are accountable for causing a wide scope of different sickness. They are nucleopolyhedrovirus, cauliflower mosaic virus, tobacco mosaic virus, potato virus X, tomato bushy stunt virus, cucumber mosaic virus, etc.

The main symptom brought by viruses is the yellowing of the leaves. Different aftereffects include obstructed development, contorted leaves, ruined flowers, mottled leaves, necrosis, untimely senescence, wilting, etc.

Viral sickness in trees is the hardest to cure as viruses don't respond to therapy since they evolve quickly. As such, there is no solution for this sickness. The best way is to eliminate all of the infected parts of the tree and dispose of them properly.
