Goals The aim of the course to teach seedborne and seed transmitted fungal, viral and bacterial plant pathogens, seed transmission mecanisms, and their determination and control methods.
Course Content • Seed borne viral, bacterial and fungal plant diseases • Transmission mechanisms of disease agents from seeds to plants • The factors that influence the transmissions of the disease agents from seeds to plants • Detection methods of seed borne diseases • Control methods of seed borne disease
Learning Outcomes 1) Learns importance of seedborne pathogens
2) Learns how the pathogens infect the seeds
3) Learns how to determine the seedborne pathogens
4) Learnschemical, physical and cultural methods to eliminate seedborne pathogens
5) Learns the seed borne pathogens
6) Learns seed treatment fungicides
