The global pathogen or plant disease detection and monitoring market size was $1.76 billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach $3.03 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 9.68%.
Current plant disease detection methods encompass visual inspection for physical symptoms, traditional laboratory techniques like PCR and ELISA, and contemporary approaches such as molecular techniques (NGS, LAMP). Additionally, image-based detection utilizing machine learning, field-deployable tests like lateral flow devices, and emerging technologies such as sensor systems and smartphone apps contribute to efficient on-site detection. The selection of a method is contingent on factors such as the pathogen type, resource availability, and the necessity for timely and precise diagnosis.
Common plant pathogens include fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes. Fungi cause diseases like powdery mildew and rust, bacteria lead to diseases such as bacterial blight, viruses induce mosaic and yellowing, and nematodes contribute to root-knot and cyst nematode diseases. Identifying these pathogens is crucial for effective plant disease management.
Plant diagnosis entails recognizing plant health concerns through techniques like PCR for early DNA-based pathogen detection, ELISA for swift and precise protein-based identification, and immunochromatography lateral flow devices (LFD) for simplified on-site testing. The selection of a diagnostic tool hinges on factors like urgency, available resources, and the desired accuracy in identifying plant health issues.
