PATHOLOGİES CAUSED BY FUNGİ İN AZERBAİJAN AND THEİR RESEARCH

The fact that the nature of the Republic of Azerbaijan is also under the influence of the changing ecological conditions of the increasingly globalized world, and the qualitative changes in the country's economy as a result of Azerbaijan's restoration of independence in 1992, necessitated a review of the measures taken in connection with these phytopathological studies. Thus, as a result of changes such as the country's transition to a market economy, the transfer of land to private ownership, and the replacement of collective farms and state farms by private farms, the place of a number of state organizations that were supposed to control the phytosanitary condition of the country was not determined in time in the newly formed economic system, the collapse of the communication mechanism intended to ensure their material and technical base, and the impossibility of creating a new one in a short time, put those organizations in a state of actual inactivity. All this significantly increased the likelihood of the spread of diseases and the emergence of new diseases. Among them, diseases caused by fungi are of particular importance both due to their distribution area and danger. Because fungi differ from other microorganisms (bacteria) that are carriers of pathology, as well as from organized particles (viruses) in terms of their biological activity and the number of pathologies they cause.
