Brief History
The Department of Plant Protection was established in 1981.as a part of Agricultural Faculty of Uludag University. The curriculum includes training and teaching activities at the departmental level offering BSc, MSc and PhD programmes. Plant Protection Programme consists of two main disciplines, Entomology and Phytopathology. The Entomology subdivision is involved in research on the identification and biology of insect pests, mites and nematodes of agricultural crops as well as the development of sustainable control methods against them using integrated pest management. The Phytopathology subdivision focuses on biotic (fungi, viruses, bacteria, etc.) and abiotic factors that cause plant diseases and the alternative, novel ways of controlling them.
Plant Protection Programme is currently composed of 4 Professor, 3 Associate Professors, 1 Assistant Professor and 4 Research Assistants.
