Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student will have knowledges about the correct use of means and methodologies on plant protection and expertise on the management of innovative control systems.
Course contents
Prerequisites
The student who enters this teaching must possess an overall picture of the main vegetable and animal adversities of the crops typical of the Northern and Central Italy with particular reference to the biological and epidemiological aspects of these adversities as topics already addressed in previous courses.
Contents
Laboratory is divided in two modules of 1 credit (= 20-25 hours) each.
Module 1
Decision-making processes in defence against plant diseases
This part will take care of decision-making processes that assess the risk of spreading infectious diseases, through the application of forecasting and warning systems. In particular for the practical demonstration of such support to the decisions, will be involved experts of the Regional Plant Protection Service of the Emilia-Romagna region.
Module 2
Diseases Plant Protection
The critical analysis of the state of the art in the context of the current evolution of disease crop protection towards sustainable integrated and biological models will be addressed. The module will deal with the chemical characteristics and mode of action of fungicides of both synthesis and natural origin.
Readings/Bibliography
Fundamental will be notes and slides from the lessons available also on the web site (“Materiale Didattico”). The attendance is strongly suggested.
