This research reviews how a destructive fungal pathogen called Rhizoctonia solani affects important food crops like soybeans, peas, and beans worldwide. The study examines different ways to detect and control this plant disease that causes significant crop losses. Impacts on everyday life: • Food Security – By reducing crop losses to this pathogen, more food can be produced to feed growing populations • Food Prices – Better disease control helps stabilize food prices by maintaining consistent crop yields • Sustainable Agriculture – Improved detection methods help farmers use fewer chemical pesticides • Environmental Protection – Advanced diagnostic tools enable more targeted and environmentally-friendly disease management • Farmer Livelihoods – More effective disease control methods help protect farmers’ income and economic stability
