University of Florida - IFAS Integrated Plant Disease Management Plant Resistance  Genetic Immunity is the rule in the plant kingdom If immunity does not exist, plant breeders develop cultivars with resistance to specific pathogens Constitutive and inducible defenses  Chemically or Biologically Induced Application of chemicals or biologicals to induce production of defense compounds  Adaptation Plant adaptation to site 5

Most suppress rather than kill.  There are no chemicals to use against plant viruses. 13
