Plant pathology is the study of plant disease and the pathogens that cause disease.
The mission of the Department of Plant Pathology is to generate new scientific knowledge about plant pathogens and the diseases they cause through our strategic research programs and to disseminate and use this knowledge through education, extension and outreach programs.
The generated knowledge is used to further the discipline of plant pathology and to assist our stakeholders in Michigan, the US, and the world in the control and management of plant diseases in agricultural, forestry and urban systems by providing tools that promote environmental safety and economic productivity.

 APS Careers in Plant Pathology
Plant pathologists are employed by colleges and universities, state and federal government agencies, industrial firms, international institutes, and as private practitioners.
Plant diseases are caused by a variety of living organisms (called pathogens) such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, phytoplasmas, protozoa, and parasitic plants, and by nonliving agents such as air pollutants, nutrient imbalances, and various environmental factors.
Plant pathologists and bioengineers also are cooperating closely in developing disease-resistant plant varieties, preserving food from spoilage, developing new strains of organisms for biological control, and even in developing composting processes for solid waste disposal.
