This paper reviews the global status of phytoplasma disease associated with different ornamental crops. This paper investigated phytoplasmas, an equally important group of pathogens that severely harm the growth and marketing properties of ornamental plants, lowering their commercial worth. In this paper, number of ornamental plants was found to be infected with 'Ca. Phytoplasma' species and treatment techniques were adapted using tetracycline insecticides for elimination and emission of phytoplasmas.
