description Plant disease still plays a major role in limiting agricultural production worldwide. Pathogens and pests reduce crop yield and can cause large reductions in crop quality. Colombia is no exception as it contends with many devastating pathogens that present a major threat to the country’s agricultural sector. This review is important because it highlights four of the more damaging pathogens that affect the economics of important crops in Colombia - Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis (Xpm), Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), Phytophthora palmivora, and Hemileia vastatrix. This paper was based on an extensive literature search for plant diseases in Colombia in databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar. Moreover, this search was complemented with research on crop production in the country in databases made available by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The four pathogens reviewed in this paper were chosen not only because of their current devastating effects on Colombia’s agricultural production but also because of their potential to cause further damage in the near future. Understanding the current situation of these crop pathogens in Colombia is imperative for state directives aimed at developing informed and efficient control strategies.

Las enfermedades de las plantas constituyen todavía un gran factor limitante para la producción agrícola a nivel global. Los patógenos y plagas vegetales disminuyen el rendimiento agrícola y pueden causar grandes reducciones en la calidad de los cultivos cosechados. Colombia no es una excepción, ya que lucha contra muchos fitopatógenos devastadores que representan una gran amenaza para el sector agrícola del país. Este artículo de revisión es importante ya que destaca cuatro de los fitopatógenos más devastadores que afectan económicamente cultivos de gran importancia en Colombia - Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis (Xpm), Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), Phytophthora palmivora, y Hemileia vastatrix. Este trabajo fue desarrollado a través de una búsqueda extensiva de literatura acerca de enfermedades vegetales en Colombia en bases de datos como por ejemplo PubMed y Google Scholar. Además, esta búsqueda fue complementada con un rastreo acerca de la producción agrícola del país en bases de datos que se encuentran disponibles por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO). Los cuatro patógenos descritos en este trabajo fueron elegidos no solamente por sus actuales efectos devastadores en la producción agrícola colombiana pero también por su potencial para causar aún más daño en un futuro cercano. El entendimiento de la situación actual de estos fitopatógenos en Colombia es esencial para que se implementen políticas públicas que promuevan el desarrollo de nuevas estrategias de control eficientes e informadas.
