KursusdatoerNormally held in the late spring for one week 8th to 15th May 2011 in Honne, Norway (near Lillehammar)
 
Kursus resuméThe overall objective for the course is to present a survey of concepts integrating pathogen biology, pathogen ecology and disease management. Key concepts will include survival of intercrop periods, inoculum production and dissemination, onotgenic resistance, crop phenology and climate, and the interplay between abiotic and biotic factors that affect the susceptibility of the host, and severity of epidemics.

Målbeskrivelse
The overall objective for the course is to present a survey of concepts integrating pathogen biology, pathogen ecology and disease management. Key concepts will include survival of intercrop periods, inoculum production and dissemination, onotgenic resistance, crop phenology and climate, and the interplay between abiotic and biotic factors that affect the susceptibility of the host, and severity of epidemics. The course should equip students for further directed and independent study of the key concepts, and to integrate biological and ecological concepts within the context of modern disease management programs.
