Research Progress of the Relationship Between Mineral Nutrients Deficiency or Imbalance and Plant Disease
Research showed that the deficiency or imbalance of mineral elements not only cause plant non infective physiological diseases,but also significantly influence the infectious diseases which are caused by fungi,bacteria and other pathogens.In this paper,the relationship between mineral nutrient deficiency or imbalance and plant disease was summarized on the basis of a large number of domestic and foreign literatures.The problems and future development in the field were also discussed.Rational application of fertilizer was introduced as a supplement measure of chemical and biological control,which could increase plant disease resistance and decrease the occurrence of disease through the adjustment of mineral nutrients,thus to improve plant yield and quality,meanwhile reduce the application amount of pesticide,alleviate environmental pollution,and promote the sustainable development of agriculture in China.
