5. Diagnosis and Treatment of Pests and Diseases

It is common for plants to be attacked by biotic or abiotic factors during their growth. If early precautions are not taken, and without regular monitoring and care, the growth of plants will be severely hindered and the entire plants may die, posing immediate or potential danger to human life and property. With accurate diagnosis and treatment, the risks of spread of pests and diseases will be greatly reduced.

This functional area includes: "Diagnosis of Plant Problems", and "Control of Pests and Diseases".
