Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Know the biology of pathogens and pests, the main groups and types of diseases of trees, shrubs and of flowering plants, the main diseases of fruits and seeds, seedlings, needles and leaves, quarantine objects that can be imported with seeds and planting material, methods of diagnostics and phytopathological research, features of predicting the spread of pathogens, effective technologies for growing woody and ornamental plants. 2. To be able to determine the types of diseases of tree, shrub and flower plants, to monitor the damage of plants by diseases, to calculate the concentration of a chemical substance, to prepare chemical solutions. 3. To have basic skills of working with materials and equipment used in field and laboratory conditions.
Course content
The course examines the evolution of parasitism in phytopathogens, aspects of plant-pathogen interaction, pathogen attack factors, factors of passive, active and acquired plant immunity, hypersensitivity reaction, receptor mechanisms and signal transduction in plants, systems for protecting agricultural crops from pests and phytopathogens. The legal regulation of plant protection is considered.
