| Competences within basic science 1) Knowledge to behaviour in a scientific laboratory 2) Comprehend experimental design and performance of studies on interactions between an organism and its natural enemies/antagonists 3) Evaluate laboratory and/or field data on organisms and their natural enemies/antagonists Applied science 1) Apply the principles obtained in experiments to similar situations 2) Make a judgement of the potential of an organism as a biological control agent Ethics and Values 1) Are able to discuss own obtained data and related literature data in an ethical framework 2) Make judgement how non-target effects should influence the potential use of biocontrol agents | |||||||||||||||||
| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||||
| The course aims to provide the students with an updated knowledge on biological control of pests and plant diseases, based on own experience in the laboratory and/or the field. | |||||||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||
| Students will learn modern methods used for experimental work in biocontrol using natural enemies of insects and antagonists of plant diseases. Experimental work with both natural enemies of insects (macro- and microorganisms) as well as antagonists to plant pathogens is included in the course. The course aims to allow the students to experience a range of modern methods, for example: field sampling, diagnosis of potential biocontrol agents, isolation in vivo and in vitro, bio-assays, genetical characterization. Each group of students will perform parts of the experimental work as a project with a specific focus. The choice of focus will dependend on students interest and practical possibilities. | |||||||||||||||||
| Undervisningsform | |||||||||||||||||
| The core of the course is experimental work in the laboratory and/or in the field. Students will be organised in teams and perform experimental work with pests and plant diseases and their antagonists. At colloquia the results are discussed. | |||||||||||||||||

| Stipulated in "Areas of Competence the Course Will Address" | |||||||||||||||||
| Litteraturhenvisninger | |||||||||||||||||
| Literature will be given at course start. In addition, the students must find literaure of relevance. The literature will consist of: 1) Laboratory protocols for experimental work 2) Original scientific literature related to the experimental work | |||||||||||||||||
