Edibles and ornamentals are crops that are threatened by pests. Pests usually take the form of foraging wildlife such as aphids, caterpillars, mealybugs, scale, slugs, and snails. But flowers, fruits, herbs, and vegetables also will be threatened by pathogens, such as bacterial, fungal and viral diseases.
