Master of Science in Plant Pathology
Course Overview
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the science of plant pathology, exploring the microorganisms and environmental factors that cause plant diseases. Students will learn the essential principles of disease diagnosis, epidemiology, and the development of effective management strategies. The curriculum is designed to protect agricultural production and global food security through both scientific and applied approaches.
Key Program Highlights
- Explore the biology of major plant pathogens: fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes
- Learn integrated disease management using cultural, biological, and chemical controls
- Understand the molecular basis of host-pathogen interactions and plant disease resistance
- Gain hands-on experience in disease diagnosis, scouting, and prevention techniques
- Apply knowledge to real-world challenges in agriculture, horticulture, and natural ecosystems
