Pendant des siècles, les aléas de la production agricole tinrent moins aux facteurs climatiques qu'aux insectes déprédateurs et aux maladies des plantes. La pyrale de la vigne, par exemple, a réduit parfois à néant, plusieurs années consécutives, le travail des viticulteurs français. [...] La lutte contre les ennemis et les maladies des plantes [...] est loin encore d'être généralisée à toutes les agricultures du globe [...] 3, record 1, French, - maladie%20des%20plantes

L'emploi de cultivars résistants constitue la solution la plus efficace et la plus économique pour la lutte contre les maladies des plantes. C'est souvent la seule façon d'enrayer certaines maladies causées par des organismes pathogènes du sol. Plusieurs maladies résistent à tout traitement et ne peuvent vraisemblablement être enrayées que par la création de nouveaux cultivars résistants. À l'heure actuelle, il en existe peu, mais les recherches pour la création de nouveaux cultivars résistants à une ou plusieurs maladies progressent constamment. 2, record 2, French, - lutte%20contre%20les%20maladies%20des%20plantes
