Microscopic Examination of Plant Diseases is Critical
Crop plants are highly responsive to weather vagaries, environmental changes, and many internal factors. While these factors may harm plants, plants are also vulnerable to bacterial and fungal attacks and thus prone to many diseases. Hence, crops, especially those vulnerable to diseases, demand continuous microscopic inspection to ensure a healthy and safe crop quality. Many of these diseases are contagious. Thus, delays or ignorance can destroy the entire crop or significantly affect the outcome, thus putting lives and livelihoods at risk. An apparent or superficial examination doesn’t help. Let alone instinct-based decision-making or course of treatment. Agriculturists have to conduct a microscopic examination. It enables them to thoroughly diagnose the case and provide observations that further pave the way to an effective treatment. So yes, in a way, microscopes that help conduct a microscopic examination on site are not only essential but critical devices in agriculture. CIL...
