| The course plan will be based on a selection among the following issues which demonstrate different aspects of infection, population biology and disease management: · Infection paths, establishment and transmission - Nutritional strategies of different taxonomic groups of pathogens - Disease resistance as expressed by the host plant at the cellular and histological level, and the effect of constitutive and active factors on the pathogen and disease development. - Seed health and pathology - Pathogen population dynamics and forces involved in population changes. - Pathogen and vector dispersal patterns and the importance of disease management. - Plant disease problems in developing countries - The resistance management strategies based on race specific and race-non specific resistance, variety and species mixtures - Biological control measures - Cultural control measures, chemical control and integrated disease management. | |||||||||||||||||

| Målbeskrivelse | |||||||||||||||||
| The student is expected to gain a broad biologically based comprehension of plant disease development and management strategies. After completing the course the student should be able to: Knowledge: - Describe host-pathogen interactions from pathogen establishment in the host to interactions at population level. - Give an overview of principles of proper management strategies, based on knowledge of the disease cycle. Skills: - Analyse a disease problem and suggest adequate principles of management of plant diseases based on knowledge of the pathogens and their interaction with the host. Competences: - Apply theory and solve plant disease problems in agricultural and horticultural crops - and communicate the results - Discuss potential ethical problems arising during control of plant diseases, for example human and environmental hasards | |||||||||||||||||
