To study ecology, morphology, ultrastructure and biochemical characteristics of phytopathogenic bacteria; to determine bacterial diseases of plants and the patterns of their occurrence and development of the infectious process, to develop the mechanisms for plant disease control. Microbiological, physiological, biochemical, statistical. Bacterial diseases of agricultural crops and related weeds and their causative agents in different cropping systems were described. Ecological niches of plant pathogenic bacteria were determined. Specialization of agents of bacterial diseases in plants was identified. It was established that a wide deterioration of crops and related weeds is caused by pathogenic bacteria of the following genera: Pseudomonas, Xanthomonas, Pectobacterium, Clavibacter, and Curtobacterium.
