Blight. An indefinite term, popularly used to designate any sudden and inexplicable death of plants. The term is now restricted by botanists to parasitic diseases. These diseases are of two classes,—those due to bacteria or microbes, and those due to parasitic fungi. For an account of these troubles, see Diseases.
