Seed Pathology

The purpose of this course is to give the students an idea about seed- borne diseases with their epidemiology, control and different seed-borne disease detection techniques.

Methods in Plant Pathology

The graduates are intended to provide services to farmer for proper plant disease detection, yield loss estimation and varietal resistance for that reason they need knowledge on different pathological techniques.

Methods in Plant Pathology Sessional/ Field Work

The graduates are intended to provide services to farmers for proper plant disease detection, yield loss estimation and varietal resistance for that reason they need knowledge on different pathological techniques.

Plant Pathogenesis

Plant Pathology mainly focuses on how pathogens attack plants and how plants defend themselves against pathogens. This course is provided to fulfill the requirement.

Mycology

This course is introduced to develop students’ interest and enthusiasm for mycology in a range of contexts.

Plant Disease Management

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the basic principles and concepts of plant disease management and to reinforce these concepts with practical examples.

Clinical Plant Pathology

The graduates are intended to provide knowledge about clinical study of diseases.

o  Establish plant disease clinic.

o  Compare diagnostic characters of plant pathogenic disease agents.

Genetics of Plant Pathogen and Disease Resistance

The course will also cover the genetic and biological processes of host plant resistance and the improvement of disease-resistant cultivars.

Epidemiology and Plant Disease Forecasting

The graduates are intended to apply these principles successfully to solve problems and employ this knowledge at an advanced level of study.

 o  Analyze host, pathogen and environmental factors influencing the increase and spread of plant disease.

 o  Apply epidemiological theory as a basis for developing and evaluating principles and concepts of plant disease management.

Molecular Plant Pathology

This course explores the molecular pieces and collective behaviors of pathogen virulence and plant immune systems, similarities between interaction mechanisms in plant and the application of this knowledge to sustainable agriculture.

o  Conclude the molecular mechanisms by which plants and pathogens interact during the progress of pathogenesis or resistance.

Soil-borne Diseases

The graduates are intended to provide soil-plant disease relationship and their management.

o   Discuss the concepts of soil-borne plant pathogens and their management.

Post Harvest Pathology

The aim of the course is to provide basic knowledge for the identification of post harvest diseases of fruits and vegetables to control these diseases based on safeguard of quality.

·      Develop and implement post-harvest disease management strategies.

Integrated Disease Management

The course will focus on the ecological and management principles of disease control and the student will evaluate the economic and environmental friendly integrated approaches to disease control in relation to biological effectiveness.

o   Incorporate conventional and noble biological, cultural, chemical, genetic and other environmentally sound and economically profitable approaches.

o   Apply the most effective integrated disease management strategies, with the least disruption to the environment.
