Wheat Blight

Wheat Blight is a plant disease caused by fungal pathogens, such as Fusarium species, that infect wheat crops. It results in rotting of stems and heads, reducing grain quality and yield. The fungus spreads via contaminated seeds, crop residues, and environmental conditions like humidity and warmth. Symptoms include discolored, shriveled grains and damaged plant tissues. Wheat Blight can significantly impact food supply and farmers' livelihoods if not managed properly. Control strategies involve crop rotation, resistant varieties, proper field sanitation, and fungicide application to prevent and limit outbreaks.
