Abiotic Disorders in Plants

The plant is damaged by infectious microbes like fungi, bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. The main damage is caused by the non-infectious agent which is termed “abiotic diseases” or “abiotic disorders”. The abiotic disorder includes fertility imbalance, unfavorable soil properties, moisture content, high temperature, and chemical toxicity these can even kill the plant. Thus abiotic disorders can cause plant diseases affected by infectious microbes.
