Aimsĭescribe a range of pathological problems that affect plants.ĭescribe symptoms of a range of diseases that affect plants.ĭescribe disease life cycles and explain how this knowledge can be applied in disease controlĮxplain the methods used to control diseasesĭemonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of a particular plant pathogen. Other disorders: genetic, disturbed growthĮach lesson culminates in an assignment which is submitted to the school, marked by the school's tutors and returned to you with any relevant suggestions, comments, and if necessary, extra reading.

Techniques for diagnosing plant diseases: optical equipment, preparing pathogens for observation, culture methods, inoculation, etc The Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology offers Master of Science (M.S.) degree programs in both entomology and plant pathology. Types of pathogens: viruses, bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, nematodes Lesson Structureĭiagnosis of problems: nutritional, environmental, pathological This course is a must for horticulturalists who want to boost their plant health knowledge and prevent damage by pests and diseases in different settings (gardens, nurseries, parks, public landscapes, farms, market gardens).
PLANT PATHOLOGY is about problems in plants caused by physiological damage or irritation at a cellular level. It is concerned with problems which affect parts of the plant cell, leading to malfunctions in the normal processes which occur. Some pests are in fact not pathological problems, and there are pathological problems which are not pests or diseases. PLANT PATHOLOGY IS NOT simply a study of pests & diseases. To control these problems is to increase productivity, and for the horticultural business that means increased profit margins. Plant production is reduced significantly every year, due to pathological problems. Become Skilled at Diagnosing and Understanding Plant Diseases
