Answer:

Citrus canker is a bacterial disease  while rust of wheat is a fungal disease

Explanation:

• Citrus canker disease:

1. Citrus and other plants in the citrus family can develop lesions on their leaves, stems, and fruits due to the bacterial disease known as citrus canker.
2. The illness has an impact on the health of infected citrus trees and the marketability of infected fruit, even though it is not hazardous to people.
3. The citrus canker has no known treatment.
4. The best defense against citrus canker is prevention.
5. Citrus trees affected by canker gradually lose their fruit output and health until they are completely fruitless.

• Rust of wheat:

1. A fungal disease called wheat leaf rust affects the stems, leaves, and grains of wheat, barley, and rye.
2. Due of the pathogen's ability to overwinter in temperate zones, it is detrimental to winter wheat. Up to 20% of the crop can be lost due to infections, which is made worse by decaying leaves that feed the fungus.
