Prerequisiti:
|
Biology of plants and of microorganisms, biochemistry, genetics, agronomy and crop sciences, principles of Plant Pathology |
Conoscenze e abilita' da acquisire:
|
Starting from the knowledge of the effects of modern agriculture on the development of highly infective pathogen populations, the aim of the course is to integrate management practices (use of biological control agents and fungicides, selection of crops and cultural practices to reduce disease pressure, implementation of predictive models in the decision-support systems) that can improve plant health and productivity by reducing the risk of disease epidemics and the use of fungicides. |
Modalita' di esame:
|
Examination procedures: in addition to a written exam consisting of closed questions on the material covered in class, students will be required to prepare and present in class two power point presentations on topics agreed with the course instructor. |
Criteri di valutazione:
|
- Presentation 50%
- Quiz (closed questions) 50% |
Contenuti:
|
- Evolution of plant pathogens in modern agriculture vs. natural ecosystems. Effect of high-intensity, multicropping and monoculture. Effect of qualitative and quantitative resistance. Fungicide resistance in crop pathogens;
- Cultural practice to slow down the evolution of infective traits in the pathogen population. Deployment of R genes: mixture, pyramiding and rotation. Species diversification: crop rotation and intercropping;
- Fungicide resistance management. Reducing selection: principles and strategies. Fungicide dose, mixtures, alternation, spray timing;
- Biological control. Mechanisms: antagonism, competition for nutrients, induction of resistance in plants. Biological control agents: oomycetes, fungi, bacteria and viruses. Physical methods, organic amendments, plant extracts and secondary metabolite;
- Predictive models and Decision-support systems: developments, improvements and benefits. Examples: wheat-Fusarium spp., apple-Venturia inaequalis, grapevine-Plasmopara viticola pathosystems. |
Attivita' di apprendimento previste e metodologie di insegnamento:
|
There will be 48 contact hours.
- Teaching methodologies: lectures (slides will be provided to students but class participation is encouraged) |
Eventuali indicazioni sui materiali di studio:
