| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||||||
| Plant diseases are a major cause of losses of yield and spoilage of quality both during cultivation and after harvest. The course will give the student an overall introduction to the discipline plant pathology leading to an understanding of the biological aspects, which are the basis for the development of plant diseases. This will form the foundation for understanding basic principles for plant disease management. The student will also obtain knowledge of methods and technologies used. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||||
| The biology of the viruses, bacteria and fungi in a broad sense causing plant diseases. Introduction to: * the concepts symptomology, etiology, pathogenicity, taxonomy and diagnosis * the molecular, cellular and genetic aspects of pathogenicity and disease resistance. * basic ecological and epidemiological principles in relation to the establishment and spread of plant diseases. * plant disease control measures (disease management) - including prophylactic measures and biological control, disease resistance, forecasting, legislation and chemical control. * Post harvest diseases and food safety * Case studies of plant diseases in agriculture, horticulture and forestry systems to facilitate subsequent specialisation. | |||||||||||||||||||
