ENV 205 - DISEASES OF FOOD CROPS

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Environmental Science

Description:

Plant diseases are a challenging issue for crop production. Some diseases, especially those caused by fungi, can result in devastating yield losses and are therefore a serious economic burden to farmers. In order to address the challenge of plant diseases in regenerative agriculture, understanding how, why and when diseases develop is very important. This course introduces students to the concepts of plant diseases in the context of agriculture and is supported by 6 semesters of Regenerative Field Lab (ENV200) for majors in the Environmental Science Regenerative Agriculture track. Students in other majors may take the course as a brief, stand alone introduction to plant diseases of field crops.
