The Departments
of Plant Protection emphasizes on education
and technology towards solving pest problems
using sustainable and integrated approaches.
The approach undertaken is through the use
of natural control agents strengthened using
applied control measures such as cultural
and biological. Major disciplines include
entomology, plant pathology, weed science,
pest management and vertebrate pest control.
The departments
academic and support staff members are well
qualified in their various fields of discipline.
Courses in entomology, plant pathology and weed
science are taught with emphasis on biology and
management of pests and diseases. Research
activities are focused on exploitation of
natural and biological control agents integrated
with chemical means. Laboratories are fitted
with up-to-date equipments for teaching and
research in microbiology, plant pathology,
entomology, hematology and toxicology.
The Department
aspires to excel in teaching, research and
extension in tropical plant protection.
