General information and classification of viruses, major viral diseases, General information and classification of weeds, major parasitic weeds, epidemy of weeds, Control of plant diseases, (hygene and therapy). |
| # | Öğrenme Kazanımı |
| 1 | The student comprehends the biotic factors (e.g., disease agents, insect pests, weeds, and others) which inflict economic losses in agricultural fields. |
| 2 | The student comprehends the abiotic factors (e.g., soil, atmosphere, and others) which inflict economic losses in agricultural fields. |
| 3 | The student learns the damage symptoms and mechanisms of plant disease agents, insect pests, and weeds. |
