Course Name : DISEASES OF FIELD & HORTICULTURAL CROPS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT-I

Code(Credit) : ASPP2202 (2-1-0)

Course Objectives

To study the causal organism, symptomatology, etiology and epidemiology of the important diseases of field and horticulture crops for devising efficient management strategies against them.

Learning Outcomes

Skill Development: This course will help the students in accurate identification of the diseases under farmer field conditions and suggesting efficient and cost effective management strategies against them.

Employment and Entrepreneurship:  The course will help students for joining the plant protection related agribusiness firms and multinational companies. The successful completion of the course will also instill confidence in the students for setting up agri-clinics, farmer oriented service centers and other agri-enterprises.
