Bacterial blight

Bacterial blight is a plant disease caused by specific bacteria, commonly affecting crops like rice and beans. It leads to water-soaked spots on leaves, which can turn brown and eventually cause the plant to wilt and die. The disease spreads through contaminated seeds, water, or tools. Environmental conditions, such as high humidity and warm temperatures, can exacerbate its spread. Farmers often manage bacterial blight by using resistant crop varieties, practicing good sanitation, and applying appropriate treatments to minimize its impact on yields.
