Illness and plants
Can I use the word "illness" when it comes to plants? I've never heard of a plant having an "illness" only a "disease" but another editor doubts this. I can't find a credible source to prove which one is correct or not. I also can't find any sentences of "plants" and "illness" on the web which leads me to believe my gut is correct. But a credible source would be helpful if anyone can recommend one, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks,

Can I use the word "illness" when it comes to plants? Yes it appears so.
A study shows the efficiency of composts of agro-industrial waste to reduce **illnesses of the plants** Horticulture 2012
and
American Journal of Pharmacy 1923 google books
... has discovered that many illnesses of plants, similarly to those
of people, are due to these microscopic animal parasites.
Management and Applications of Complex Systems - Page 143 google books 2019!
The content of the knowledge base includes the following: types of
soils, sorts of wheat, classes of machines and mechanisms, illnesses
of plants, insects, pesticides, fertilizers, etc.
Plant diseases is more common but plants can have illnesses too.
