temperature and moisture extremes
what is a characteristic of infectious plant diseases in crops?
Pathogens multiply on or within the host plant and can be transmitted from one plant to

replenishing food supplies below ground.
which of the following conditions are not necessary for a plant disease to develop
in crops?
