Plants directly or indirectly provide all of the food upon which humans and all animals depend. Unfortunately, diseases are a major constraint to the productivity and quality of plants.
Plant pathology is the study of organisms and environmental factors that cause disease.
The overall goal of this course is to introduce students to the concept of plant health. Unannounced absences or unexcused absences will result in a loss of points. Students are not required to sign an honor statement. However, we expect each student to do their own work and not use outside sources of information during exams. Anyone caught violating the honor system will receive a failing grade for that portion of the exam.
