| Course objective : |
| | Tropical Ecosystems |
|
| To give basic knowledge on phytogeography and bioclimatology
After completing the course the student is expected to
·Be familiar with the main characteristics of tropical ecoregions.
. Be able to propose management activities. |
| | Crop protection |
|
| The course describes the main groups of plant pathogens. It analyzes the relationship between symptomatology, the damage and the losses in the context of the systems of production. The course briefly describes the various strategies of plant pathogen control and specially focuses national and international regulations.
After completing the course the student is expected to
1. To measure the diversity of the levels of losses linked to plant pathogens
2. To identify the factors affecting the losses due to plant pathogens
3. To analyse the conditions of application and the limits of the national and international legislative measures
4. To apply the FAO procedure of phytosanitary risks assessment(PRA procedure) |
