Plant pathogens are divided into three groups

Biotrophs derive energy from living cells, they are found on or in living plants, can have very complex nutrient requirements and do not kill host plants rapidly;

Necrotrophs derive energy from killed cells; they invade and kill plant tissue rapidly and then live saprotrophically on the dead remains;
