The course provides knowledge on the etiology, epidemiology, symptoms and damage of the most important biotic and abiotic diseases of cultivated plants and gives bases for their integrated control.

Acquired skills in terms of knowledge and ability are reported in the annex A of the” Regolamento didattico del Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Plant Medicine (expressed as the European descriptors of the degree; disciplinary: “Pest control”). In particular, the student will acquire knowledge for diagnosis and control of the main biotic and abiotic diseases of cultivated plants.

For students normally enrolled, at mid-course there will be a written test and the outcome will be expressed in thirty. The outcome of this test contributes to the evaluation of the examination of profit and is valid for one academic year. • The exam consists of an oral test with 2-3 questions on topics developed during the hours of theoretical and practical lessons in the laboratory, as reported in the Academic Regulations Master in Plant Medicine (Art. 9) and in the study plan (Annex A). • The evaluation of the student's preparation is based on pre-established criteria, as detailed in Annex A of the Academic Regulations for the Master in Plant Medicine. • For students who have stood the written test, the total evaluation is expressed by averaging the vote of the written test and the oral examination.
