Syllabus:

 The course covers the major groups of insect pests, plant pathogens (fungi, viruses, nematodes and bacteria), and abiotic diseases. Students will learn how to recognise diseased plants and how to determine the cause of the disease. They will learn about how pathogens infect plants and how this knowledge can be used to minimise their effects. During the laboratory sessions they will examine a range of diseased plants and learn how to examine pathogens and pests.
