Plant problems are a common issue for gardeners and farmers alike. ROT, which stands for 'root ROT, ' is a condition caused by fungi that attack the roots of plants, leading to wilting and eventual death. EDEMA, or 'waterlogging, ' is a condition caused by too much water in the soil, resulting in swollen leaves and stunted growth. ERGOT is a fungal disease caused by the Claviceps purpurea fungus, which can cause severe damage to cereal crops. All three of these plant problems can be devastating to crops and gardens if not addressed quickly.
