Course content
As a result of studying the elective discipline "Practical Arachnoiontology", students will know: the main groups of pests - representatives of the Arthropod type; biological and ecological features of pests that contribute to the outbreak of their numbers; ways to monitor the population of the pest; the main groups of organisms used in biological control of long-lived organisms; how to plan a comprehensive pest reduction program and evaluate its effectiveness; the functional role of individual groups of arthropods in the implementation of biodamage processes; methods for detecting bio-damage caused by animals; basic methods of protection of raw materials, food and non-food products, museum collections, buildings, from damage by various animals.
