Short description:

The aim of the Plant Protection Programme is to train specialists who can fulfill various roles in plant protection, including management, organization, consulting, regulation, and marketing. These experts utilize their extensive theoretical and practical knowledge to prevent losses during crop production.

Graduates will be able to identify organisms that threaten healthy plants, including pathogens, pests, and weeds. They will gain insight into their biology, reproduction, and the effects and mechanisms of pesticides, including their impact on the environment and human health. Additionally, they will learn to apply integrated approaches to chemical protection alternatives.

These specialists will prevent harm and damage caused by pests and environmental factors by employing ecological and integrated plant protection methods aimed at reducing pesticide use. They will always prioritize the safety of food, processors, consumers, and the environment. With a higher education degree, they will be permitted to use restricted chemicals that pose specific risks to the environment.

The programme also aspires to prepare motivated students for research work and PhD training in the field of plant protection.
