Common Names of Plant Diseases

Compiled by the
Committee on Standardization of
Common Names for Plant Diseases
of The American Phytopathological Society, 1978-2005

In 1978, The American Phytopathological Society established a committee to develop listings of plant pathogens and the diseases they incite. By act of APS Council, the common names in these listings are now official names for use in APS journals and other publications. The Committee on Standardization of Common Names for Plant Diseases continually updates this list, publishes the names in Phytopathology News, and adds to this IS-MPMInet database.

You may search the Common Names database by keyword or select one of the plant disease collections listed in the Table of Contents.

Proposed Lists of Common Names for Comment and Consideration.
