Ringkasan program

This program trains students to apply knowledge of the biology of pathogens to implement integrated disease management practices. Students acquire knowledge about fungi, bacteria, and viruses, as well as environmental factors that cause plant disease. Students investigate the molecular and genetic principles of infection and the development of plant disease and epidemics. The plant pathology specialization prepares students to work in laboratory and field settings and to develop and implement environmentally safe methods and materials for avoiding or managing plant diseases in agricultural and urban environments. This option is designed to prepare students for graduate school or to work in the research laboratories of biotechnological firms, universities and government agencies.
