INTRODUCTION 
One of the most basic problems today is the study of the 
causes, prevalence, impact on plants, human life, and the 
environment of various phytopathological diseases of crops to meet 
the growing needs of the population for ecologically clean and 
valuable agricultural products. Therefore, it is important to protect 
plants from diseases caused by various fungi. Nowadays, agricultural 
professionals need to be aware of the risk of phytopathological 
diseases in every farmer from planting to harvest. Preventing the 
indiscriminate use of chemicals for widespread diseases or at risk of 
spreading, as well as preventing disease, requires in-depth 
knowledge from experts in the field. The guidebook will help you 
diagnose and prevent disease by studying disease symptoms in 
plants. For this, the specialist must thoroughly know the physiology, 
bio ecology, morphological structure, methods of reproduction of the 
organism that causes the disease. Accurate determination of the 
chemical composition of the drug used during the spread of the 
disease, the rate of consumption, the duration of action will greatly 
help in eradicating the disease. This requires deep knowledge, skills, 
and abilities from a specialist in the field. This manual will help 
industry professionals acquire skills and competencies. 
Phytopathology is the science that teaches plant diseases and 
how to control them. It is derived from the Greek words phyton-
plant, pathos-disease, logos-science. The science of phytopathology 
is a comprehensive study of a diseased plant, external and internal 
symptoms that arise as a result of a pathological process, the causes 
of the disease, its spread, depending on the environmental situation, 
the economic damage caused by the disease, teaches them to get a 
high yield from them based on teaching the characteristics immunity, 
early detection of the origin of the disease and measures to combat it, 
as well as methods of treating diseased plants. 
This manual describes the symptoms, pathogens, prevention, 
and control of phytopathological diseases of plants, laboratory study 
of the symptoms of diseases.

The manual is compiled based on a model program for the 
subject "Phytopathology" and is intended for students of higher and 
secondary specialized educational institutions, teachers, specialists in 
the field of agriculture. The study guide is also available to a wide 
range of readers.
