Kursets målsætning
The course is concerned with plant health problems in agriculture, horticulture (greenhouses, orchards and field crops) with special reference to Danish conditions. The purpose of the course is to introduce students to the diagnosis of plant diseases and pests.
 
Kursusindhold
Rapid and accurate diagnosis of plant diseases and pests is essential for the work of extension service personnel and instructors. Identification at genus or species level is a crucial prerequisite for making decisions on how to handle a plant health problem.

The students learn:

- how to diagnose commonly occurring plant diseases and pests using simple practical methods
- how to identify pest species from their morphology, host and host symptoms
-how to identify pathogenic fungi, bacteria and virus from their pathogen morphology, host and host symptoms
- how to describe and characterise damage in the field and how to take a sample for further study
 
Undervisningsform
The course will take place at KVL in Tåstrup (bus transport is available from KVL, Frederiksberg). The course consists of short theoretical introductions to specific subjects and problem-based studies including field collections, identification and diagnosis using keys, manuals and microscopes. It should be noted that many of the entomological keys used during the course are in Danish.
 
Litteraturhenvisninger
Identification manuals,specific keys,handbooks and journals from the department libraries are provided at the course.
