TECHNICAL DOCUMENT ON RUST OF Mentha Spp. | Journal of Global Agriculture and Ecology

Mint plants (Mentha spp. ), which are members of the Lamiaceae family, are a widespread vegetable crop grown in many countries across the world. In addition to its medical and industrial uses, it is a significant food source. Many fungal diseases attacked it, including rust disease, which was caused by the obligate parasitic fungus Puccinia menthae, which belongs to the class Pucciniomycetes and phylum Basidiomycota. Mint rust disease symptoms include little dusty bright orange, yellow, or brown pustules that form on the mint leaves, and the leaves may die and drop from the affected plant. This disease is frequently a major yield-decreasing issue. Mint rust disease can be handled using a variety of agricultural strategies, including disrupting the pathogen's life cycle and utilising fungicides and resistant types. All of the techniques successfully controlled the condition and lowered the severity of the sickness to varying degrees. We present current knowledge about mint rust disease epidemiology, symptoms and signs, disease cycle, ecology, and disease management in this technical document.
