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.
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.
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.
Other information
This course can be given in English.
