Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of microorganisms to survive and develop protective mechanisms against antimicrobial drugs and treatments. In agriculture, the rise of antimicrobial-resistant plant pathogens poses a major threat to crop productivity, as disease management becomes increasingly challenging when commonly used fungicides and bactericides lose effectiveness. Addressing antimicrobial resistance in plant pathology is crucial for ensuring food security and developing sustainable alternatives to conventional chemical interventions.
