Aims

a. Contribution of the activity to the LO (LO from the program)

1.1 to 1.5 ; 2.1 to 2.4 ; 3.1 to 3.9 ; 4.1 à 4.7 ; 6.2 to 6.8 ; 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.5 ; 8.1 to 8.6

b. LO from the program specific to this activity

At the term of the activity, the student will be able to:

-       identify precisely the causes of abiotic and biotic plant diseases;

-       recommend a control measure adequately chosen for a given plant disease or pest;

-       Work out the current diagnostic methods in plant pathology;

-       Categorize and list the data available on a given plant disease and pest;

Evaluation methods

Students are evaluated on their ability to provide a correct diagnostic and adequate advices for the control of a plant pest or disease.

Teaching methods

Problem-based approach developed with the students, based on case studies. This approach requires an active presence of the students which have to learn how to identify the plant pest and diseases, search amongst the bibliographic resources and master the required identification techniques, from the microscope to molecular one.

Content

This lecture is divided in two parts. The first part is dedicated to learn the basis of plant diseases and pest hands on diagnostic. The second part is a problem-based approach of plant diseases: the students are given plant pathology related problems to be solved first with the help of the lecturers, then by a student team approach and finally by the student alone. A choice of targeted examples will allow the design of intervention strategies, applied to viroids, viruses, mycoplasma and phytoplasma, bacteria, fungi as well as physiological disorders. Examples of mites and insects will also be given.

Bibliography

Files on iCampus. Numerous references available at the Plant Pathology Laboratory Library. Systematic use of plant pests and diseases images. The UCL libellule library system is used frequently.
