Diseases that result from infection of a plant by a pathogen are called "plant diseases." These diseases can be caused by various types of pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and nematodes.

In agriculture and horticulture, the study of these diseases and their management is referred to as plant pathology.
