NewGeorgia plant disease losses in 2024, including control costs, amounted to an estimated $860.12 million. The value of the crops used in this estimate was approximately $7,772.59 million, resulting in a 11.07% relative disease loss across all crops included in this summary. The estimated values for most crops used to compute these disease losses are summarized in the UGA Center for Agribusiness & Economic Development 2024 Georgia Farm Gate Value Report (AR-26-01). Some crop value estimates were adjusted based on Extension specialists’ knowledge of the industry and industry sources for information.
