Abstract
Correct disease diagnosis is essential for plant pathologists striving to combat plant
disease. To support them, mycologists are integrating traditional and molecular techniques.
Attention must therefore be given to harnessing the power of molecular genetics
to provide rapid methods of identification, and to study the adaptability of plant pathogens
in terms of virulence and sensitivity to fungicides. To combat African plant diseases
effectively, better co-operation bem'een mycologists and plant pathologists is essential.
