Course contents :
|
| While the use of pesticides is often the main way to control insect pests, other control methods are often available or under development: Use of resistant varieties, microorganisms, pheromones or physical processes are all solutions to include in integrated pest management strategies.
After having briefly recalled the place of plant protection products in the control of insect pests, this course will theoretically present the promising methods for crop protection, stored food and forest resources, that should be included in global strategies.
Biological control, semiochemical methods, microbiological control, physical control and integrated pest management are some modules that make up this course.
Practical exercices also complete the theoretical course by presenting the different pests associated to temperate cultures. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| To supplement the training of the students in the field of crop protection by developing the spirit of integration of various disciplines acquired during their studies, for example by stimulating their critical spirit and the decision-making.
After completing the course the student is expected to
- Knowledge of the working principles of integrated management
- Integration of various disciplines acquired
- Developing a critical spirit of technics used in integrated management |
