Field Observation Report on Emerging and Recurrent Plant Diseases in Korea, 2025

This report presents a compilation of plant disease occurrences in Korea based on field observations conducted by members of the Field Research Committee of the Korean Society of Plant Pathology in 2025. The dataset documents cases of emerging and recurrent diseases—including soil-borne pathogens, viral complexes, and foliar diseases—reported from various agricultural regions where committee members carried out surveys. Although the records do not constitute a comprehensive national survey, they provide georeferenced, metadata-rich occurrence information that serves as a useful reference for identifying when and where specific diseases were observed. These findings also reflect broader trends in disease emergence under variable climate conditions and highlight the value of continued field-based monitoring to support predictive modeling, risk assessment, and evidence-based plant disease management in Korea.
