Abstract
The class Ustomycetes consists of a group of distinct and significant microorganisms in the fungal world. Fungi belonging to this class can cause smut diseases in various plants. Smut diseases typically manifest with symptoms on plant leaves, flowers, and fruits, and they pose a serious threat to plant health. Ustomycetes fungi spread rapidly, especially in humid and warm conditions, which makes managing these diseases of great importance. This article will discuss the symptoms, transmission pathways, and control methods of smut diseases caused by Ustomycetes fungi in plants.
