Abstract:

If forensic science is any science used for the purposes of the law (as defined by the American Academy of Forensic Sciences) or for solving a crime, then forensic phytopathology is the application of plant pathology to purposes of the law. In other words, it is the interface between plant pathology and civil and criminal legal affairs. It is a largely unexplored field and is still developing.
